★★★★★
‘The most topically incisive impersonator on the block… It’s laugh-a-minute stuff, underpinned by the kind of wisdom and natural resilience our leaders could learn from. He was always impressive, but he deserves his inevitable standing ovation as never before’
Daily Telegraph
‘A first-class comic’
Guardian
★★★★★
‘Flying the flag for satire… a meaty hour of impressions, gags and reflections… so much to admire here’
Mail On Sunday
