Pete Holmes

"Freakin' hilarious"

(about Best Week Ever Live) - Savannah College of Art and Design

"Holmes, who in addition to stand-up writes for http://www.collegehumor.com and designs Busted Tees and assorted comics, started the show strong and probably got the biggest laughs of the night. He managed to weave jokes about Hopkins and Baltimore into his routine without making his set seem tailored to a college performance. He was excellent with reacting to the audience, choosing a few particularly emotive people to be targets throughout the night. As the host and first comic onstage, he did his job and won over the audience, setting up the remainder of the show." - Johns Hopkins University

"Proving that all humor is exaggeration or the unexpected, a sudden, clamorous belch from among the back rows in the middle of Holmes' impressive performance left the room stunned into impressed silence. After waiting several moments, Mr. Holmes, not one to be outdone, gave the belch the compliment it deserved, conceding, "Speaking of perfect comic timing." Turning back to an amused crowd, he said, happily, "I like you." Noisy, appreciative applause attested that the audience liked him even more." - Brandeis University

"Pete Holmes and Doug Benson were honoree recipients of the crowd's most uproarious laugher and applause. Pete Holmes began with a slue of his notorious "look alike jokes" as he proved to have the most diverse comedic topics and the best improv ability." - Merrimack College
