"Some poets make you laugh, some make you cry, and some make you think. Not many can do all these things." Mike Abrahams, Sponsor of Bristol Vegfest.
"Poetry filled to the brim with noted experience, expert oration and British sensibilities. I find in modern social commentary and satire, it's easy to face the pitfalls of cliché, particularly when referencing the US President; however, the Bard delivered some rousing and reframing poetry with a slightly Carlinesque charm in the more political discourse. It felt very fresh, and the crowd was very involved and positive throughout, with some real wisdom being shared... an experienced and witty commentator , this conversational performance brought words to life, and I'd love to see what he has in store for next year's Fringe." Barnstaple Theatre Festival review
