What have reviewers said about Paul Foot?
Noel Fielding: “It's baffling to me that Paul is not a household name in this country. His routines are like jazz clusters, loose hammocks, choked to the brim with jokes and ideas.”
Chortle: “Inspired, surreal and incomprehensibly funny.”
Wow247: “Capable of raising a laugh with just a brief shudder in the beat between jokes.”
The Scotsman: “He is completely in charge. An hour in his company is one of wet faced glee and it's over in a flash.”
