The title of his one-man show, The Spouse Whisperer, was a playful jab at the reality TV shows with whisperer in the title. a?oeIf they can go around and tell how to make dogs and horses better than I'm going to be the spouse whisperer.

And it does so with a gusto and a panache that knows just how ridiculous and trope-heavy the source material is.
