Editorial Reviews

Review

Comedian Mr. Whitekey provides the laughs in Anchorage's Fly By Night Club: it may seem like a large task to translate his music and comedy cast and show to book form; but plenty of photos and hilarious illustrations help. Words and pictures gather details on the 'real Alaskan life'; from Spam to evidence of the King. May prove offensive to conservative readers; but fun for any with a personal knowledge of Alaskan 'culture'. -- Midwest Book Review

5.0 out of 5 stars The Alaska we sourdoughs know.., June 15, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Mr. Whitekeys' Alaska Bizarre: Direct from the Whale Fat Follies Revue (Paperback)

This is pretty much right on about the state of things in our Great State. People from Outside will scratch their heads at somethings, but let me tell you, it's all (just about) true! A great memory for a great state, or a good thing to send out when you are just tired of trying to explain the better things of life on the Last Frontier. Long live Spam...

5.0 out of 5 stars make way for the saturday night live of Alaska!!!, May 7, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Mr. Whitekeys' Alaska Bizarre: Direct from the Whale Fat Follies Revue (Paperback)

From the moment I opened the sleazy pages of this political and moral incorrectness, I was moved. I was also in the bathroom at the time, but anyway,I was amazed at the humor , it's unique, clever and inventive. Something someone might expect if you visited a class full of third graders who were mutants, childish humor expressed in such an intellegent way, to make the stonchiest old republican titter. It really captures the crazy lifestyle of those isolated Alaskans and endears them to my heart. Because Iam one by the way has no bearing on this review...I'll be the first to tell you there are some real home grown stinkers come outa here ... Anyway, if you've got a funny bone grease it up and sit back with this book, it's got enough stories of fun, when passed on, It'll make you the highlight of many parties to come!! I highly recommend this creature for reading. A million laughs!! Thanks!!, Diva that digs it.

3.0 out of 5 stars If you've seen their show, it helps prompt your memory, August 1, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Mr. Whitekeys' Alaska Bizarre: Direct from the Whale Fat Follies Revue (Paperback)

If you've seen the Whale-fat follies in Anchorage Alaska, you need this book as a remembrance of your surreal pilrimage to their...their...club. If you haven't been to the show, well, the book is off the wall so far, the pages hardly have time to stick to the latex before hitting the floor. Their show is political satire, schtick and delightfully bawdy. The former Miss Anchorage often steals the show with her Wagnerian physique and her drop-dead comic timing. Buy the book, but even better, see the show, then buy the book.
