"Time and energy are two items that Greg Barris has got. At 24, he's making some noise in the downtown clubs with his distinctive style. His touring group of comedians, Heart of Darkness, performs regularly in the city and is making a name for itself in California & Florida. His Disposition on stage is that of a haggard stranger who walks up to your campfire at night to tell you about the madman who still haunts these woods and throttles his victims with his bare hands. He's a dramatic storyteller and possesses many of the qualities of Bill Hicks' early work: confidence, beliefe in his message - that element of an axe to grind combines with the frustrated acceptance of absurdity that brings out his humanity and the laughs"
- Ken Carlson 'The Comedians'
