An extremely funny man! He was the MC at a gig near me, he was extremely funny indeed, had me in stitches, very very funny!
James - 28/04/2010
Very shocked to see all the negative reviews. Del did a set for us a couple of nights ago and had the joint in hysterics with his routine. An absolute pleasure to watch.
Delboy - 03/12/2009
Abysmal

I worked with Del at the Epsom playhouse 28/03/08. I had never met him before. I thought he was excellent. He was funny, quick witted and he stuck to his time. The audience loved him and he was a pleasure to work with. I will recommend him to anyone that asks and look forward to working with him again.

Very unfunny. "I did 22 minutes at Jongleurs Glasgow when I was only booked for 15" - well you're a cunt then. Repeat after me: "It's not just about myself..."
Davey Hay - 16/09/2007
Very funny and has a lot of personality
Jo-Ann - 22/06/2007
I have seen Del Strain on a couple of occasions, when he first started and more recently. I have to say that there was no difference in both performances. Both were wooden. Both were excrutiatingly unfunny and the last occasion was tinged with an arrogance displayed in his above posts, He is peddling the old steriotypes - which as a Scot, I find quite tiresome. For God's sake, do some work and get better!

Ive seen Del once after readinding this review I thought he was goner be really pants, But he had some great gags and was very pleasant off stage. I think the comments are just to wind him up as it seems quite easy and maybe he shouldnt let it get to him. I just though I would add that he is a good comic and deserves a better review/comments.
Del Strain - 07/05/2007
FACT-MAY 4TH AND 5TH Jongleurs glasgow opened and did 22 minutes even though i was only booked for a 15.And again Saturday and Ive also did Camden and stormed it before doing 10s so before its even said no its not because im scottish.Im glad to see me getting results for hard work seems to annoy so many of the Fictional posters.Again these are facts and when im being called a liar well thats why im even bothering.Oh and ive also now done paid ones for Glee,Banana Cabaret,Komedia and the Backyard just to make your day.
Michael Witherow - 14/03/2007
'Also why are any positive remarks from me never put on here?' Because nobody has anything positive to say. Pathetic.
A Jongleurs Comic - 14/03/2007
You've had an open spot at Jongleurs in Glasgow. Get over yourself.
Del Strain - 12/03/2007
Again for third time,currently doing paid spots at the stand,comedy cafe,banana cabaret,gsoh, and in 4 years Jongleurs paid 15s.So who is right? anon posters or real comics and bookers? Also why are any positive remarks from me never put on here? Del \"im so shite in 4 years im doing paid Jongleurs\" Strain.
STEPHEN BARRY - 30/10/2006
Del performed at my night in Barcelona for a weekend, i found as the audience did Del to be funny and did well on both nights.My name is stephen barry and i am the owner of the Dubliner in Barcelona.
Monkeyman - 15/07/2006
Abysmal. I saw him do a set in Cambridge that was amongst the poorest standup that I have ever seen. The subject matter was tired, the jokes either missing or so weak that nobody in the audience spotted them. I racked my brains to recall any acts I have seen that were worse - and could only come up with two acts at the weakest open mic nights I ever went to.
Pat Gallagher - 29/05/2006
Met Del once at Potions wine bar London open spot gig now defunct. Came across as an okay guy who was learning his craft. Good luck to you Del. As Norman Stanley told Godber, Don\'t let the bastards grind you down. Pat Gallagher 29.05.06
Richard - 11/04/2006
Saw him attempt to MC at a club in Islington a few weeks ago and he was absolutely abysmal. He not only alienated the audience but seemed to aggravate the acts. He even went as far as to pull the mic from the sound system when one act was on in what I can only guess was some sort of childish jealous tantrum as the said act was doing something he seemed to be incapable of - getting laughs. It was probably for the best that most of what he garbled was completely indecipherable to the vast majority of the audience but unfortunately being a Scotsman myself I understood every word. Maybe there is some comic genius underneath it all as looking at his rants in response to previous criticism below made me laugh a hell of a lot more than an evening of 'comedy' did. I eagerly await his well thought out explanation of the above evening.
Jon - 29/03/2006
Didn't even turn to up to the gig I reluctantly booked him for the last week. Saw him gig last night and realised i'd saved myself an embarrasment.
Jimmy - 23/01/2006
He was proper cack man, I mean I find Carrot Top hilarious but this guy...
Bobby Fischer - 02/06/2005
Could this be the incoherent rantings of an insane genius? Does Strain know something we don\'t? Watch this space... Bobby Fischer 02.06.05
Hamish - 02/06/2005
It dosen\'t matter how long you\'ve been doing material if the general trend has become tired and overplayed. I have seen Del a number of times and his act is poor, his delivery stale and he has no abilities beyond his weak script. This stream of conciousness style of grammer bashing makes no sense whatsover and only serves to make you look stupid. Only a fool reacts to a bad review. Hamish 02.06.05
Del Strain - 31/05/2005

Ant Brown - 30/05/2005
I agree. Has a wooden delivery with too many crap gags. Also, obviously an illiterate psycho who needs to be kept away from keyboards. Ant Brown 30.05.05
Matt Price - 30/05/2005
I saw Del Strain once at a gig and enjoyed his set. This is damaging as a review and if it costs him work as a result, then you deserve to be slated Mr.Chortle. As far as I could see Del Strain is a good comic who, given the number of gigs that he\'s done, is always trying to be a better one. Matt Price 30.05.05

Only an idiot posts messages under his own review. Fucking awful act. If you\'ve got an agent, I reckon it\'s probably a kidnapped special needs adult. Andrea Thomas 01.01.05
