Praise for the Bad Haircut Tour:

[Ian and Connor manage] to charm the audience without wasting time with too much banter. You could just tell how much they [enjoy] performing together [...] Ian and Connor don't play "good cop/bad cop," they play "suckerpunch cop/kick-to-the-gut cop." They [bring] a little bit of the funny and a lot of the heartache, and now they're touring the country, and anyone who doesn't see them should feel very sorry for missing the chance. And their CD sounds awesome. Okay, now I'm done gushing.

Ian and Connor are stand up gentlemen, outrageous writers, and impeccable performers. Walking deftly between the serious and the comical gives this duo the kind of stage presence of an elephant on a tightwire directly above a young boy getting what he hopes will be his last round of chemo.

Ian Khadan and Connor Dooley are the Reese's Peanut Butter Cups of the New Jersey Poetry Slam scene: two great tastes that taste great together. Like a Reese's Cup, their poetry is both sweet and salty, showcasing both the darkness and the light of their lives and the world around them. They aren't afraid of a cracked joke or a cracked voice, aren't scared to tap into the surreal & beautiful, or the grounded & true. Ian & Connor are poets who aim to please, both on stage and on the page, and they are delicious!

- Cristin O'Keefe Aptowicz, author of "Words In Your Face: A Guided Tour Through Twenty Years of the New York City Poetry Slam"

Sincerity. Bravery. Surprise. These two artists are a celebration. Each armed with a distinct voice and ardent attention to craft, Connor Dooley and Ian Khadan are writers first. Their poems are necessary. Employing gunpowder wit, heart-rattling charm, and enviable courage, these gentlemen will leave you spent—and smiling.
