Just the Tonic (Laura Williams) "Kevin is a rock-solid club comic who consistently delivers big laughs. Confident, sharp and likeable with an audience" Anglia Comedy (Alex) “Kevin has performed numerous times for me as a support act on both Friday and Saturday nights in Blackpool and he absolutely rips it every time. He always does a great job, with a solid set. Well worth booking” Blackpool Comedy Station (Ryan Gleeson) "Kevin is headline-quality hilarious, a very funny man, with broad appeal, who excels in front of a live comedy club audience" Buzz Comedy (Agraman) “Kevin is a very assured, very confident and very funny comedian. His stage presence is already at the levels of top pro comics and his material is polished and very well delivered. He really should be opening any club in the UK now. Considering the line-up he was some peoples favourite, which is a compliment in itself. A very impressive performer. I for one will be booking him regularly. Comedy Hot Spots (Jim Howarth) “One of the fastest rising acts on the comedy circuit, Kevin has a great ability to read the room and incorporate callbacks to things that happened earlier in the night” Funhouse Comedy (Mike Bottomley) “Kevin won our coveted ChucklMania comedy competition in 2023. Since then, we've had him perform at almost every venue we work with around the UK. Simply because every time Kevin is on one of our lineups, he kills! There's been many a time when he's even outshone some of the biggest headliners in stand-up comedy. He's also a very nice guy to boot and always a pleasure to work with” Chuckl (James & Harrison) "Kevin recently opened for Shaft Of Wit Comedy alongside Paul Sinha and Rich Hall and set the night up perfectly. I've booked him a few times and he fits in anywhere on the bill. He wins rooms over with his affable charm and keeps them on board with his finely tuned material. His story telling is sublime, drawing audiences in to the point you can hear a pin drop, before rewarding them with punchlines that cause explosions of laughter. Every time I've booked Kevin he has delivered impressive memorable sets that the audience talk about long after the shows. He is one of the most requested acts among Shaft Of Wit Comedy audiences, on par with some of the most experienced pro circuit headliners that I've booked" Shaft Of Wit Comedy (Kai Barron) “Kevin is devastatingly funny, with a mix of relatable stories and crowd work that just keep the laughs coming again and again. Took the roof off my gig and made other acts look nervous to follow” Juice Comedy (Rob Halden) “A very established act, with a strong set. He stepped up on one of my nights where he was doing a middle. The closer couldn’t make the gig. Kevin went back on and had a wonderful gig, I would highly recommend to other promoters” Laughter Craft Comedy (Jonathan Elston) "Kevin's instant likeability on stage is backed up by great jokes and solid routines.
