'Undeniably funny' (Chortle.co.uk). 'Intelligent and effective satire ... a character of real comic integrity' **** (BroadwayBaby.com).

A talent, for sure' (www.chortle.co.uk). Winner of the 'People's Champion Award' at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe 2017 with his show 'Snowflake'. Winner - Amused Moose Comedy Award People’s Champion Winner - ThreeWeeks Editors’ Award
