Original Review:

Behind this amiably lacksadasical façade hides a brilliantly inventive comic mind that never rests on its laurels.

Audiences can't help but warm to Graffoe's gloriously laid-back manner. But then, when suitably lulled, he'll whack them with a genuinely unexpected punchline.

It's gloriously entertaining and creative stuff, with surreal leaps of imagination, twists of language and intelligent and pithy one-liners all combined in one irresistible comedy package. A real class act.

I really enjoy your section of Omid Djalli: Tour of duty. My boyfriend keeps singing bungee girl over and over

charlotte tutton, November 2011


If you like your wit and musical humour of a high standard, Boothby's the one to see. If you don't like your wit and musical humour delivered in the style of an eternal cool-undergraduate at a party with a guitar (who quite possibly could have any lady or willing man in the room, and knows it) Boothby is not for you.

Mandy Allan, January 2010


My absolute favourite comedian. Has me hurting with laughter every time I see him, which is sadly not often enough these days (more Boothby please!). An utter genius!

Paula, December 2009


Ridiculous. Boothby is quite possibly one of the funniest comedians I've ever seen.

Jason W, June 2008


Worst comedian I have ever seen, he was warming up for Omid Djalili and bearing in mind Omid's manic style he was completely wrong for the audience, he was so dull and lacking in energy, and was not funny at all.

Phil Cookson, April 2008


Boothby is a complete honey and I could eat him with a spoon. Funny too.

Jessie, December 2006


Saw him last night in Kilkenny Cat Laughs. He was funny in parts (loved the lisping kitty gag), but it came across as if he hadn't prepared much and just took the easy option by ripping the pish out of a couple of people in the audience and the Irish accent

Kilkenny Kitten, June 2006


I only heard part of the show on the radio - but 'baseball playing spider' touched me to the core. Brilliant mix of music and comedy. More more more.
