...York stop featured Bay Area rappers Blackalicious, making a comeback after a few years’ hiatus, as openers. Playing to a fairly sparse crowd, MC Gift of the Gab and DJ Chief Excel worked hard to raise a vibe that never entirely blossomed. Michael Franti of Spearhead had no such problem. Within seconds of his arrival onstage, he was pogo-ing his entire 6’6 length into the air, and the audience wasn’t long in joining him. Franti gives more to his audience than any other performer, his energy seamlessly carrying...
Williams resurrected his public image in the late 1990s with New Jersey. His gift of gab and stand-up comic’s sense of humor turned him into a media darling—his stories of New Jersey teammates have become the stuff of legend.

...never straying more than ten or fifteen feet from anyone in the house, McPherson's characters come alive in this production in a way that they can't do on a Broadway proscenium.And when they do come alive, it's a joy to watch. McPherson's gift of gab is prodigious. It's not so much eloquence (though he knows how to turn a phrase) as quantity that's so impressive. He's got enough blarney in him to spread across three characters for two hours and still seem like he's got a good lot left over...
