Reviews for previous Hastings Comedy Festival 2026 events
Third time seeing Tony now, and last night's show was probably the best we've seen so far.. He was on fire from the starting block! His rant about not being able to find Oscar's venue (a steel tube underground with a secret door no-one tells you about) was priceless! Even his storytelling using some of his older material is redelivered with fresh words and told from a different vantage point.. He reads his room like a book and works the 'lulls' like a true pro... His style is random, unpredictable and hilarious, and he really is a master at holding your attention. Top tip - if you wear mascara, don't bother, or make sure it's waterproof.. mine disappeared in the first five minutes of his show.. Check him out, you won't regret it..👍👌
