Review # 1 was written on 2014-03-23 00:00:00 Michael Kierpaul The man can write, of that there is no doubt. I saw Mambo Mouth the week it opened and I've rushed to see everything he's done since then.

Review # 2 was written on 2019-09-04 00:00:00 Raymond Smith This book contains the texts of four of John Leguizamo's stage shows; Freak, Spic-O-Rama, Mambo Mouth and Sexaholic, which were originally performed between 1990 and 2001. Unlike reading a play, I find it difficult to rate the literary quality of this book. Having read this book, watched John Leguizamo perform in movies and watched him perform in more recent stage shows, I would rate him as an okay author, a good actor and an excellent live performer. The book does not do justice to his skills as a comedian. Mr. Leguizamo uses gestures, facial expressions, and his voice skills to bring his characters to life and elevate the humor to make an enjoyable audience experience that should not be missed. The difference between reading the text of his shows versus watching a live performance is like the difference between night and day.
