“He is distinguishably good.. His delivery is immaculate, ultra-fast but never unintelligible. More infectiously, he has a knack of making each member of the audience feel like a friend, delivering pin-sharp observations in the form of shared confidences. Hilarious, although his mime piece illustrating an English person having sex could do untold damage to the nation’s sexual health.” – The Guardian

“Proving that swearing is both big and clever, Murphy paces the stage with great confidence in his material. With superb stage presence and upbeat enthusiasm, the show is a great presentation of all that is great and good in stand-up comedy.” – The Evening News

“Colin Murphy has a laugh-per-minute rating to which many higher-profile comics can only aspire. He is endlessly, genuinely, extremely funny. See it now because it is hard to believe he could get much better.” – The Scotsman
