Dominic was absolutely brilliant at this year's Edinburgh festival. Razor sharp observational humour from a genuine craftsman. Easily our favourite comedy act out of 6 we've seen so far. Keep up the brilliant work Dom.

John Allison, August 2006

I listen to him on radio quite frequently. I think he's funny and I understand his jokes, despite being nearly 70 and not a thirty something - whatever that means. Easy humour with an incisive edge.

Bill Halsall, May 2006

A genuinely funny guy. Best of luck to him

Derek Shakespeare, November 2005

Just saw him deliver some perfectly written and cared-for lines to an audience that were very hard to please tonight. Far too lazy to dismiss Dominic as safe as it takes guts to believe in a well written gag that may burn slowly rather than pander to a 'drugs and wet patch' audience. Some of his lines tonight were as good as I have heard all year.

Alaric Dynevor, October 2005

Brilliant. Funniest act that I've seen for years.

John Clarek, October 2005

Safe comedy with a capital 'S' and 'C'.

Nelson, November 2004

He just gets better and better.

Nicola Wren, October 2004

Horrible, horrible stuff. He has worked out what makes appears to make people laugh, applied the formula and the manufactured his product for mass consumption.
