"THE ONE AND ONLY"
HEY!!!
WILD BILL COOKSEY!
THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT YOU AGAIN!!!
"Cooksey is a person to person entertainer.He reaches and touches everyone in his audience. THE FIRST ACT and ONLY act that I had seen other than SHECKY GREENE in New Orleans, circa 1952, that could go five and six hours non-stop and not repeat his material.
I
RECOMMEND HIM UNEQUIVOCALLY, AN OUTSTANDING PERFORMER IN ONE. I
always look forward to his return performances in Las Vegas."

BUT WHAT MAKES WILD BILL UNIQUE?
Participation is the key word. Wild Bill is all wound up for every second he's on stage 20 minutes or 5 hours, it doesn't matter! And he expects the audience to participate in his show as well as enjoy it.

THE CLEARWATER SUN reported:
The Frog Pond Lounge in the Clearwater Beach Hilton where Jim Stafford launched his career now showcases a real weirdo named Wild Bill Cooksey who talks, sings, strums and goes bonkers nightly.
He's very good at weird and he must be canny to stay one step ahead of the guys in the white coats. Like he wears a cowboy hat, a glittery pair of boxer shorts(on top of his trousers, mind you) and only one shoe. However, we understand that each night the costume gets more bizarre depending on the Wild One's moods.
But aside from the outfit, an example of just one of the things he does is when he goes through strange rituals and antics wherein two people are introduced, given 60 seconds to conclude their courtship and immediately married in a mock ceremony. As to date, there are actually three couples who never knew each other before attending Cooksey's show and now are legally married. There have even been two known children produced from this trio of official weddings. Strangely hilarious?.... yes, that's a pretty good description of Wild Bill's act!
JUST WHAT IS WILD BILL'S BRAND OF HUMOR?
Cooksey is insulting without being vulgar...
Weird, but not ridiculous............
Flamboyant, but not obnoxious
