This show was absolutely fantastic on all accounts. Niek is a masterful writer and actor. The emotions are keeping the audience on its toes at all times. Every move is unpredictable. 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

I am so grateful that I went and saw this show. I wanted to know this Tommy Cooper after only a few minutes. In fact Neik sold me on the show after a few minutes at the Cabaret. I had never heard of this character but after years of seeing Benny Hill and Monty Python ... Neik makes us fall in love with what to me was an obscure character . I felt the pain of his yearning to please people. This show will probably live on for quite some time. I believe Neik has found a unique entertainment niche. Congratulations Neik... full review

I'm not a fan of magic...but somehow the day I saw Tommy Cooper, I saw two shows that were utilizing magic to help tell the story. What I liked about Tommy Cooper was that it was not all fun and games though. There were serious moments where Niek sheds light on Cooper's many demons, including his affinity for alcohol. I really enjoyed Niek's portrayal. Very grounded and genuine.... full review
