Joy Behar – ``The View``
“Barry Dougherty’s ability to put his interviewee at ease and his authentic curiosity all point to a real aptitude he brings to his writing. From solid journalism, celebrity interviews to toasts, jokes and jibes, Barry’s writing is solid and seasoned.”
Susie Essman – ``Curb Your Enthusiasm``
“Barry Dougherty has an uncanny understanding of the unique and strange workings of the comedic brain. His insights into comedians, comedy and the history of the art form are original and compelling. He is a treasure in our industry and, most important, whenever he interviews me for one of his books he always makes me sound smarter and funnier than I am.”
Richard Lewis – ``Curb Your Enthusiasm``
“If it wasn’t for the passion and twisted mind of writers like Barry Dougherty people like myself would never be assured of having a legacy.”
Gilbert Gottfried – Comedian/Actor
“Barry Dougherty is a gifted writer who has fostered comedy history with his insightful books. He doesn’t just showcase the people who make the laughs he also writes the laughs. And he’s also a great lumberjack.”
Tom Cantone - Mohegan Sun Entertainment Senior VP
“I was told to make sure I got a really good editor to polish what I wrote. I knew that Barry had edited many books and all were well received as historical works to be included in anyone’s library. I asked Barry if he would be my editor and he not only put the polish on my rough edges, he made it all make sense too.”
