TimeOut, simply as 'hilarious' and culture website Spoonfed thought he could 'probably win an award for the most laughs in a minute.' London Is Funny wrote "He has a totally unique wellspring of material. In a different class really." The Sunday Times wrote of the 'superbly comic writing' of his plays on the Edinburgh Fringe.

Most of his recent shows are now free form improvised "events" or happenings such as Community Circle "the most fun you can have without taking your clothes off." NOT TO BE MISSED
