Press quotes

For "Phantom Parade of Love (VHR01)"Reminiscent of Lily Tomlin's "Search for Intelligent Life in the Universe", LA Weekly, 2006 [ [http://www.vaudevilleheartthrob.com/press.html] ]

"DIY punk ethos comes to comedy where an Amoeba Records comedy clerk is trying to shed his day job and spend his time as a ful time comic. Already on Comedy Central and making a rep for himself by airing his short films on MySpace, Heilbron is honing his art in the new vaudeville type arenas where material is eaten through like a tree chipper doing it’s thing and you will be forgotten if you aren’t in the moment. He’s got the tough elbows to be up for the task. Funny, contemporary humor that is on target and always played for laughs above all else. This dandy debut is one more trick in his kit bag that should help him go the distance." Midwest Record, 2007 [ [http://www.midwestrecord.com/2007/02/22/022207/] ]
