One of the best improvisers on the circuit is on the hunt for new punchlines. Join him as he squeezes the comedy juice from topics as diverse as reincarnation, pirates, ancient scrolls of wisdom and androids. It'll be a bit like watching Wikipedia having a nervous breakdown. For lovers of Ross Noble, Jason Byrne and heroic nonsense. "An accomplished comic." Time Out "Perfect...the audience were hysterical." Huffington Post
“Displays a crackling, spontaneous energy in which we’re swept up.” Fest
