'A clever, dead pan, dead funny
upper-class bloke, physically reminiscent of Martin Clunes but
funnier… his musings are classic' (The Scotsman)
'Dry delivery and wry sense of the
ridiculous were highly entertaining and his piss take of 'bloke
humour' was inspired' (The List)
'Landed gentry to the comedy
cognoscenti' (Evening News)
'The undisputed highlight of the
evening was Miles Jupp, who compered superbly. His affable, shuffling,
personality immediately put the audience at ease.'
(Edinburgh Evening News)
'Serious comedy muscle' (The
Scotsman)
'Divine comedy' (Daily Record) |
