"He’s a London-based Irishman whose jokes could easily divide the room. But such is his skill, charm and Banana Kingdom’s faultless construction that he takes the crowd with him. ★★★★★ Independent

"If the devil's in the detail, the angels are in his delivery, that delicious meandering way of drawing out a yarn, the intermittent giggles and the charming, twinkly presence. Simultaneous nourishment for the brain and laughter glands this way lie." ★★★★ The List

"Wide ranging, intelligent, self-deprecating, accessible, and importantly, very funny, you couldn’t ask for more..." ★★★★ Chortle
