Reviews for previous Hastings Comedy Festival 2026 events
Well delivered but kept reminding the audience that his humour was edgy and a little dark. We can be the judge of that. Not particularly subtle but some surprising punch lines that worked. The accent...just a bit strange. Bit Ali G. Good effort.
