He promises to pronounce 'aluminium garage' correctly. 'The best show I've reviewed in seven years' **** (List). 'Truly masterful gags, crafted with intellectual panache' (Chortle). 'Unashamedly clever and sparklingly original' **** (TheArtsDesk.com). 'The thinking man's comedian... mines for laughs in esoteric places, consistently digs up comedy gold' **** (West Australian). **** (Herald). **** (Skinny). ***** (UKTheatreNetwork.net).
