'The most topically incisive impersonator on the block... It's laugh-a-minute stuff, underpinned by the kind of wisdom and natural resilience our leaders could learn from. He was always impressive, but he deserves his inevitable standing-ovation as never before' ★ ★ ★ ★ ★- Dominic Cavendish, Daily Telegraph
'Flying the flag for satire... a meaty hour of impressions, gags and reflections... so much to admire here'- ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ - Mail On Sunday
