My review: https://www.brainwavez.org/culture/reviews/2019/20190404001-01.html The show was fine but I know he has the potential for being much better (so please keep booking him) so my frustration is him not listening to advice (mine and others') and improving certain easy-to-fix issues faster but I think I've been wearing him down over the past couple of years and we'll get there.

Good show, didn't realise it was a bit more amateur or for kids, but still decent entertainment.

Loved it! You should market it to the millennial crowd and older teens - my 13-year-old son had a great time.
