“With a name like Nutt, it's hard to imagine a career outside comedy. This longhair's brain is trained on everyday observations filtered through a layer of laconic spite. Nutt plays against his looks. At 6-foot-2, with shoulder length hair and a beard, Nutt is every inch the rocker. Crowds expect him to tell gags about biker babes and blowing joints but he is much too intelligent and sophisticated. He's a one-man-war on stupid people, playing on audiences' preconceptions." - Andrew Clark, The Toronto Star
