Clark is clever, sharp and enough of a stand up comedian to make instant connections at any level of appreciation. Personally though, I'd like him to put his idea of a two section show — one with a band, one without — into practice. Variety is the spice of life, m'dears. | Clark is clever, sharp and enough of a stand up comedian to make instant connections at any level of appreciation.

A calculated triumph from a Costello camp rife with calculations — the next single, the next album, the films, America. It's like a chess game.
