I dont get WD at all. As for Dixon being a rounded real-life character: Just a bunch of C&W cliches.. two thumbs down from me.

It'd be easy for Jesse Griffin to exaggerate this type of character, but instead, as the review says he has created 'a real flesh-and-blood character'. The roundness of the character coupled with the clever stories and delivered with such acute comic timing make Wilson Dixon my top pick for the festival. I really look forward to seeing any shows he does after this one. I thought this was a great show and the review was spot on!

Watching the slow, drawly southerner thing can get a bit boring at times. He does it well, but I've seen it too many times now. Yeh I don’t get him either – he needs to work on another character.

I went to one of the shows once because I loved the 4 Noels so much but I left scratching my head. Everyone else was laughing but I just didn't find it funny (and no I'm not dumb I get why it's supposed to be funny.) I don’t get Wilson Dixon at all!
