Reviews for previous Hastings Comedy Festival 2026 events
He's a class act, charming, funny, intelligent, fascinating stories, animated, smiley (so smiley!)...only criticism is he can talk too fast...and mumbles! (He knows who I am!)...I missed a lot...cos of this....

Brilliant show, very engaging and entertaining. Great family fun! I would recommend taking out a front row of sets as I felt like we were too close to the comedian she could have done it it’s a little more stage space.

A tour de force of world-weary, dour, droll hilarity from the master of downbeat, beaten down (cleverly ironical) blokey Essex Man.
