This is the best solo show I have ever seen! From the acting, the writing, and directing this show is an absolute must see! I haven't laughed so hard in years. Do yourself a favor and run, don't walk, to get tickets to this show. ... full review

You have got to see this show. Niek is a force to be reckoned with. The amount of humanity and love he brings to Tommy Cooper is phenomenal. I laughed. I cried. I felt that exchange of energies we trade as an audience with the actors. I left more full of empathy than when I entered. ... full review

A wonderful performance! Clear and concise. Funny and heartbreaking! Niek brings to life the comedy and the tragedy of someone who many of us may not be familiar with. You will love his recreations of old comedy bits and your heart will ache for him when he is in pain. See this show, it won't let you down!... full review

Every word is unexpected. I highly recommend this show to everyone. It is the kind of play that will change your world. ... full review

A beautifully acted solo performance the tugs you back and forth over the thin line of comedy and tragedy. It delivers on its promise of great comedy bits but also serves up unexpected beats of sadness as we learn about the struggles of a man always striving for validation.... full review
