Joseph Wilson – Original Review

Note: This review is from 2008

Review by Steve Bennett

Cheeky newcomer Joseph Wilson’s material tends towards the obvious, appropriating a bit of graffiti he’s seen, doing a hummus/Hamas gag, and a hackneyed take on the deep-voiced man who narrates all the cinema trailers.

He delivers it with conviction and energy, though, and shows a flair for impersonation, from Kermit The Frog to a splendid Jimmy Carr.

His showmanship over substance suggests that either a lucrative cruise-ship career awaits, or that he needs to develop his writing to match his undeniable performance skills.
