Quotes:

4**** One4Review:

“The gags arrive thick and fast — Harry Hill–style surrealism meets George Formby–era wordplay, with a dash of schoolyard smart-aleck energy. … It’s not high art — nor does it pretend to be. What it is, is a cleverly chaotic free-hour that ricochets from the sublime to the ridiculous without losing momentum. The Free Fringe has a knack for unearthing these offbeat gems, and de Cristo’s show is very much one of them.

Whether you come for the nerdy deep cuts, the daft conspiracies, or just the sheer velocity of the puns, you’ll leave with at least three new jokes lodged in your head — and perhaps a song lingering from his genuine, real-life stint on The X Factor two decades ago.

So much fun. **** ” Steve H, One4Review
