Pat Burtscher struggled to fully engage the audience. He’s a relaxed Canadian stand-up – perhaps a little too relaxed, as he seemed singularly unconcerned that his set-ups were hopelessly windy, with far too much flannel before he even approached the punchline.

Yes, we all know bawling babies are an annoyance on flights – so the quicker he could get round to his witty solution, the better. Ultimately, his ideas are inventive and funny; but he needs some focus to make the most of them.

Genius! Get the man on TV now...

Adrian Dutch, September 2009

He's the funniest man in town! The best, hands down, no comedian can compare to his genius.

Arash Doulatshahi, May 2009

I love him. A genius always needs to suffer from madness.

Mandy Gill, May 2009

Pat has to be one of the funniest comedians I've ever seen! I think he should have his own show!

Pat always to manages to make me laugh. He's steadily crafting his lo-fi delivery and sharp material.
