Banal and fairly dull material, completely died tonight. Old material. Time to step up Adam.

zack, June 2010

I saw Adam at a Jongleurs show in Reading, there were only about 40 of us in the audience but it was honestly one of the best performances I have seen. I hope Jongleurs can release the footage. Honestly, off the cuff genius. How he is not a household name is beyond me.

I saw him in Dubai. Good gig, fast paced and good material but he didn't need to lower himself to the 'Where are you from mate?' approach and got a bit lost when talking about politics but all in all a good night and I'd recommend him.

Fantastic. The cleverest and best gagsmith in the world.

Arnie Wells, April 2008

What a guy. I saw him at the Jongleurs last week and I'm still laughing! Clearly chose the right profession.

Love this bloke. Funny

Adam is genius. Saw him do two gigs at The Comedy Store within two days of each other. He didn't repeat a thing. Not his fault if Paramount keep repeating the same clips over and over. An outstanding comedian.

Beanie, November 2007

A comedian well and truly stuck in the last decade. Seen him quite a few times on Paramount and in comedy clubs in London and I just can't get over how content he is with his incredibly mediocre material. He genuinely seems to think his set is some sort of comedy gold which should propel him into the higher realms of stardom. It's not. Also the man seems to have a real issue over the fact that he's not ultra ultra famous as if his tired brand of comedy deserves much better than the mediocre reactions he otherwise receives. Slap that on a poster
