Matt Devereaux Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2005
Matt Devereaux

Your reviewer is a halfwit who missed out on the golden age of NME contrary "journalism" (which ended around the time Julie Burchill started writing for the Face) and erroneously believes his "I'm-SOOOO-iconoclastic-me" stance has any significance whatsoever outside the environs of his arse, where it remains firmly stuck.

I caught one of Matt's shows the other day. Loads of laughs, so I thought I'd Google him and found this rubbish. The opinions of this critic represent unresearched prejudice.

This 'critic' has obviously come to Edinburgh ahead of his/her time - with a bit more hard work and er...experience he/she might manage a decent paragraph next time round. I have seen Matt Devereaux on several occasions and he is an exceptionally funny, polished and orginal entertainer. Oh and imagine my surprise when I discovered he wasn't aristocratic at all! He was putting it all on, like an act or something!

I saw Matt Devereaux at the Try Out night at Downstairs at the Kings Head, and he stormed it. He was by far one of the best acts on and I would gladly see him again. He also proved himself to be a mean beatboxer.

Brett Goldstein, December 2006


Your evident ignorance of Devereaux's prodigious past work makes one question your authority as a 'critic' in this field. Accusing him of being an aristocrat who thinks he can muddle through on the comedy circuit is hilarious - like accusing Ali G of being a black street kid chancing it is a TV roving reporter. It's his ACT for godsakes

Shorty, October 2005


The posh persona is adopted as part of the act . but that seemed to go over your head alas.

Matt Devereaux, October 2005
