“Excellent, explosive and exhilarating performer…. Watch him bring the house down” The Guardian
“Felix is just astonishing, he uses language brilliantly and has a great comic style. A really funny man.” Paul Whitehouse, The Fast Show
“…a warm and charismatic live performer” “… he has the audience doubled over with tears in their eyes” The Observer
“…pertinent, eloquent and self aware with the practised skill of an experienced comedian he treats the audience as old friends placing them in the palm of his hand immediately” The Stage
“Sharp, satirical, way ahead of the rest …he sings acts writes and performs.. this man is seriously talented, Dexter by name, dexterous by nature.” The Independent
“Felix, you’re a legend” Brian May (Queen)
Daniel Simonsen
Winner, So You Think You’re Funny 2008
Finalist, Laughing Horse 2008
Nominee, Chortle Best Newcomer 2009
Winner, Comedy Store King Gong Show
Winner, Comedy Café New Act Night
“A bone-dry Norwegian with a more-than-agreeable line in weird observations. Some nicely quirky writing” Chortle website
“Deadpan routines about social awkwardness have made him popular… One to watch.” Spoonfed website
“Daniel Simonsen’s sublimely subversive comedy operates on the edge of a unique, neurotic Scandinavian reserve - you’re never quite sure how much is a genuine foreign naivety and how much is cleverly feigned, although judging by the skill with which he deploys most of his quiet, nervous, backhanded jokes, it’s probably the latter.” Three Weeks
“Simonsen is a Norwegian comic with an impressive grasp of whimsy” The Guardian
“Brilliant newcomer” Time Out
MC - Robin Banks
“Though primarily known as the compere at the Comedy Pit venues he runs in South London, Banks also performs his own act in the guise of a rough diamond ex-con. However, he shuns the expected tough-guy shtick in favour of some airy-fairy surrealism… The discrepancy between image and material produces its fair share of laughs” Chortle website
