British Comedy Guide, 15th January 2017Review: English Comedian of the Year, Udderbelly
The second comedy competition in two nights, following Old Comedian of the Year, was another mix of very familiar and less familiar names, with only one act cropping up twice. If nothing else this shows that there are lots of talented stand-ups around. And a lot that want to win competitions.

In the end, it was a relative rookie who triumphed - and will now be gracing next year's Adelaide and Perth festivals down under on the back of his achievement.

Despite Terry Alderton's best attempts to make light of the heckler's disappointment in his act, fun soon turned to fisticuffs as the young lad threw a cup of beer over the comedian.
The Dorset Echo, 15th April 2016Ian Smith, interview

Chris Mackrell, Black Diamond, 19th August 2015Ian Smith: Here, there and whereabouts
I think it's fair to say Ian Smith wowed our reviewer with his 2015 show Whereabouts, about which he declared "Not only do the show's threads intertwine in a very satisfying manner, but Smith continuously manages to produce laughs from a variety of sources."
