Tommy Cooper: I Didn't Let You Down, Did I?

Niek Versteeg is mesmerizing to watch as Tommy Cooper. He was able to transport me to a different time, in a different land, and had me laughing and crying. Niek was able to create a story as well as an image of this man whom I never have heard of yet, now feels I know more about. Fantastic!... full review

Niek performed wonderfully in his original solo show about the comedy star Tommy Cooper. It was by far the best show I saw in the Fringe and one of the best shows I've seen anywhere for a long time. I was hooked the whole time and didn't want it to end. ... full review
