Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 28th September 2015Review: we don't understand how Sam Simmons won Fringe
A hearty portion of Sam Simmons's shtick is acting out the things that 'shit him'.

Glen Pearce, The Public Reviews, 13th September 2015TV review: Rotters
Rotters, about a hapless bunch of thieves attempting an antiques heist, couldn't bring the same inventiveness to the silent comedy genre as Sam Simmons, John Kearns and Phil Burgers (aka Doctor Brown) bring to the live field.
