"It takes a special kind of act to work on both sides of the Atlantic (as well as across Africa), but it seems an easy transition as he compels the crowd with his racial and socially insightful comedy." News and Star, Carlisle

"Absolutely [took] the roof off the place. Brilliant, brilliant act." The Frog and Bucket

"With his frank delivery, accent and cartoonish voice, he has a unique and endearing stage presence." Community Contact, Montreal
