If, thanks to a diet of mainly bland, made-for-TV standups, we’ve forgotten what raw, risky character comedy is all about, an evening with Paul Foot will remind you…This is Foot at his best, speaking universal truths and – like Woody Allen – making them seem less daunting to the repressed masses. Like a cult classic, a relic from the past, a rare exotic bird, he’s special.
Daily Express
Paul Foot’s latest staged meltdown is revolutionary character comedy at its most brutally hilarious…. The term ‘mad genius’ has been chucked around willy nilly down the ages. It has surely found its rightful place stuck upon this man.
The List
It’s impossible to describe what Paul does, it’s like trying to strangle mercury. I doubt Paul will ever have a massive audience - he's just too far out for those who expect a comedian to tell you gags. Nor should he compromise his unique art for mass appeal - that would rob us of one of the great, original comics . In an all too often predictable comedy universe, Paul Foot orbits his own planet. Fantastic.
Mirror.co.uk
He commands a significant cult following, and when you see him in action it's not hard to understand why - his seemingly off-the-cuff flights of fancy will compel you to seek out the company of this peculiar man time and time again.
The Guardian
Paul Foot doesn’t tell jokes, as much as have an occasional idea... and then with fumbling and pin-point accurate observational humour makes us all laugh about it for fifteen minutes.
Scotsgay
An absolute comic genius. He’s going to be a superstar.
Attitude Magazine
Rarely, if ever, has this reviewer seen an audience laugh as hysterically or long.
The Scotsman
Brilliant...very original.
The Daily Star
A hilarious combination of pedantry, bluff and surreal non-sequiturs.
The Scotsman
He attacks the funny bone from an utterly obtuse angle.
London Evening Standard
There is no logical reason why Paul Foot’s comedy should work, but work it does - to hilarious effect. Never before has so much been laughed at so little.
Metro
The missing link between Ross Noble and Frankie Howerd.
London Evening Standard
Choice silliness which no other comic could deliver anywhere near as effectively.
Time Out Magazine
Stupidly hilarious...an unforgettable show.
