Original Review:

At 6ft 7in and built like a whole block of brick outhouses, this Australian comedy behemoth dominates the stage. But it's not just a physical command of the space, as he soon demonstrates a quick banter and natural wit that draws in the willing audience.

But, at least to a certain extent, he squanders his natural advantage. Some of the subjects he covers don't do him any justice, especially the overfamiliar routine about airline safety, and he seems to find creaking old gags irresistible. Some, I'm sure, date from the early Monkhouse era: "So I asked he what she wanted to drink. She said, 'I guess I'll have a champagne.' I said, 'Guess again.'"

Not that you would be able to date the material if you didn't know any better, as he delivers it all with a fresh vigour, not to mention a winningly mocking manner - and the occasional prop. And when he applies those enviable performance skills to covers less generic material, his spirited set can really rock.

I saw Colin on the ocean Village Ship. I must say that he was so funny I laughed so hard. He had three shows and nothing was repeated! You must see Colin Cole, I highly recomend him, a truly good guy!

Awesome! His gags were great with a brilliant use of some props. Go see him, you won't be disappointed.

He was fantastic. One of the funniest people I have seen for a long time. Kept the act flowing nicely and I left the place with my head hurting and stomach aching. Brilliant.

The guy came to do a show in the gulf for us aboard HMS Somerset, what a funny witty and genuinly scary guy. brilliant! He not only broke what seemed to be an endless deployment, but did it with suberb humour and excellent comic timing.
