"John Quale shines as the glam vamp opera diva Prince Poppycock, a Louis IV confection or occasional Nancy Sinatra-esque chanteur/chanteuse in gold glitter boots with world-class vocal talent. No lip-syncing for Mr. Quale, who is a true artist and transforms himself Klaus Nomi style once he graces the stage. Nina Hagen would be proud, as would Diamanda Galas....Prince Poppycock could surely out-diva Paris Hilton any day"
-by Roy Rogers Oldenkamp for WEHONEWS.COM
"From the first time I saw his MySpace photo, he became the person I'd most like to meet. Then I saw him live- out of his royal drag- when he appeared as none other than Jesus Christ at the Steve Allen Theater's "The Beastly Bombing". I was in awe of his operatic skills, and flawless (and hairless) dancer's body. Then I saw him perform his brand of baroque pop in his pantaloons and powdered wig and was instantly converted into a hardcore disciple of the Poppy that is Cock! Thank goodness he found his way to Tinseltown and is confounding audiences with a new kind of hip - one covered in lace and pink satin. What better way to outrage the aging punk rockers?"

"John Quale steals the show as Jesus"
-Broadway World
"Part randy dandy, part rock star, part drunken courtesan, Poppycock instantly owns the audience with but a glance and a wiggle of bedazzled pantaloons, and that’s just the beginning. His operatic prowess, glamourous costumes and ostentatious prose leave not a heart unstirred. A masterpiece of self-transformation, the Prince is also recording artist John Quale, but I’m secretly hoping Poppycock will take over completely one day, to reign supreme in a glittery victory of feathers and gold spandex."
Zoetica for Coilhouse.net
"Memorable performances included the operatic trillings of androgynous, über-sexy, powdered-wig-wearing Prince Poppycock (who capped off his performance by ripping off his silk pants to reveal some very skimpy ruffled pantaloons)."
-Frontiers
"Along with the chance of finding a topless organ player, a live mermaid revue or, if you're really lucky, Prince Poppycock, a 6-foot-tall singing aristocrat-androgyne in brocade, silk and pantaloons. "
-LA Weekly
"The Glam-Opera Libertine Prince Poppycock!"
-Los Angeles Alternative
"Hosting the entertainment for the evening was Prince Poppycock, the Rococo Opera/Rock god, dirty, flirty, and one of the most talented performers I've ever seen at a fetish event. You could hear an audible gasp from the audience as soon as he began to sing, surprising them with his operatic prowess."
-ErosArtist.com
"The show began with Master of Ceremonies "Prince Poppycock". He immediately won over the crowd with his undeniable talents, unique humor and surprisingly lovely, operatic voice".
