Jim Smallman at the Leicester Comedy Festival preview show
Live Review
Leicester De Montfort Hall

Not quite comedy gold, but certainly got potential. Especially when he eschews the silly-lickle-me stance and sharpens up his frustrated, ironic wit.

Michael Monkhouse, September 2008

Great stuff, really growing at a fast pace.

Make no mistake Jim Smallman is a star in the making! He is also a true professional. He arrived on time after driving 300 or so miles, to get to 'Comedy at the Cottage my gig in Redhill. We suffered technical hitches, i moved him around in the line up then only gave the poor guy 10 mins. However, he made those 10mins seem like he was the star of the show. Perfect timing, strong original material. The audience loved him! one of them wrote in the comment book, " He contributed by making the night an enjoyable experience for the audience and other comics. To think I might of missed out on this talented find. I would definately book him again! I urge all other promoters to book this guy before he gets famous!

Jim's gigged for me on several occasions and has always managed to deliver the goods;some great material and the audiences have always gone with him wherever he's taken them;great relaxed style, genuine bloke.

I love Jim. He's excellent and has an act which defies the length of time he's been going.

A very good comedian, and he's only just starting too. Some amazing one liners.

Ian Smith, July 2006

Obviously just starting out as a comedian but did really well. One to watch.

Steve, June 2006

Some of the best, most inventive gags on the circuit, including an amazing one about squash...
