Reviews
★★★★★
“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.”
Dominic Cavendish, Daily Telegraph“A first-class comic.”
