“Comedy-gold mix of grit, wisdom and gory honesty… the most topically incisive impersonator on the block… eerily exact, satirically dead-on anatomisation of the Westminster set is just what the country ordered…Much wit, then but hard-won wisdom too” Dominic Cavendish, The Daily Telegraph ★★★★★
“a sensational start to the Festival…the most topically incisive impersonator on the block…exemplary in its vocal accuracy and political acumen. It’s laugh-a-minute stuff, underpinned by the kind of wisdom and natural resilience our leaders could learn from. He was always impressive, but he deserves his inevitable standing-ovation as never before.” Dominic Cavendish, The Daily Telegraph ★★★★★
“flying the flag for satire…succeeds in seamlessly weaving together the personal and the political in a meaty hour of impressions, gags and reflections. Forde is brilliant…so much to admire here. But you come away admiring the man as much as the performer” Mark Wareham, Mail On Sunday ★★★★★
“as sharp, succinct and personable as he’s ever been. An outstanding hour…a joy to have Matt Forde back on the Fringe…nobody else serving up party-political humour at this level… the mark of a comic whose touch has never been surer, whose flights of fancy have never been defter…the greatest set piece of the evening, perhaps the best routine in town, is him being Adolf Hitler outlining his wartime plans in the voice and language of Donald Trump. Stunning… equal parts informed and imaginative. All while weaving in just enough of his personal trials to leave us feeling more hopeful than sour about the state we’re in.” Dominic Maxwell, The Times ★★★★
