“This is laconic laced with Red Bull, material so thoughtful you would put your house on (him) reinventing the knock knock joke... announcing the arrival of a new comedy original.”  Herald  One of the most inventive stand-ups on the Fringe..... knowingly cynical and hilarious ... delightfully deadpan Scot " Chortle  “If this man isn’t a household name in five years time, the world is even more lacking in justice than we could have feared.” Scotsman  “A cult favourite among fans of the sharper end of stand-up” Guardian  “One of the most distinctive, and funniest… comedians in Britain”  Chortle
