Some reviews:
*** Experimental, Humorous The Comedy-O-Rama draws characters that everyone can relate to, just turned up a notch for chuckles. The production is slick and story engaging. - Tanya Ott, Producer, WBHM-FM Birmingham, AL - July 10, 2005 An atmosphere of folk art and sophisticated sound equipment merge to create radio theater of a distinctly upbeat, G-rated variety. - Deborah Medenbach, reporter, Times Herald-Record, New York
*** Amusing, Humorous, Light-hearted I listened to Part One of this comedy special. The programs opens with daughter Laurie talking with Mom on the phone. Within two minutes, I was chuckling. When Mom mentions her "lard and sugar" sandwich that she put down somewhere, the producer had me. This "visit to Camp Waterlogg with Ranger Joe and Ranger Laurie" in the Catskills is delightfully funny, with characters that are goofy and cute. Good for light, summer listening. - D. Cameron Lawrence , Down to Earth Productions Louisville, KY - July 1, 2005
'The Comedy-O-Rama Valentine?s Special is an antidote for the Winter blues!" - Rodney Collins, Public Radio Exchange Listener, Flint, MI
The Comedy-O-Rama Hour is one of the most unique and original productions out there these days. With Joe's talent for different voices, I never know what's coming next, or what it will sound like. Another thing that makes these shows stand out is that it is quite obvious to the listener that Joe and his cast are having fun making these shows, and that makes them fun to listen to as well. - Steve Karesh, Program Director, Sonic Theater XM Satellite Radio
There's one simple reason Comedy-O-Rama attracts the attention of creative PDs it's fun. It's PRPD's Core Value of "humor" delivered with a "uniquely human voice." Bevilacqua is indisputably unique, and as a disciple of Yogi Bear (well, Daws Butler, actually) he?s master of scores of voices. - Geo Beach, Tempest Studios, Homer, AK
This is radio-theater for the new millenium (we're in it.) Joe Bevilacqua shines in his writing and voice-work. Thou imagination should'st run hither upon convening your ears to the pleasures of Joe Bev's inner-world. - Bill Palladino, WNMC - FM - Traverse City, MI
The husband-and-wife team (Bevilacqua and Kellogg) broadcast each program from their Napanoch home, which they have redesigned to look like the Ranger Station at Hanna-Barbera's Jellystone National Park. Because the recording is done here instead of in a studio, and much of the comedy is improvisational, the stories have a unique, intimate feel. - Melissa Lajara, reporter, The Daily Freeman, New York Well worth listening to, and would make an hour, on a cold winters night, warm and engaging. - Corky Everett, Public Radio Exchange listener, Lenexa, KS

Review of "Cupid Comes to Camp Waterlogg"
Funny and inventive, it keeps you going with its humor and storyline. You meet a lot of people and voices to have fun with. It takes you from one fun skit to the next laughable moment. Make sure the kids listen
