Don Friesen: “Inexplicable”, the first stand-up comedy CD by Don Friesen is almost absolutely brilliant. Friesen is an original; he is very intelligent, clever, funny, and just about perfectly clean.

It is in the first minute of this routine that this stand-up comic serves notice that he is capable of some really original stuff such as his Dr. Seuss take on calling plans. He proves it again, in spades, on Business Degree: Like New with references to Dr. Strangelove, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and The Matrix. Somewhere on “Inexplicable” Don Friesen also tips his hat to the classic Abbott and Costello Who’s On First routine.
