Original Review:

Ed Petrie brings a schoolboyish charm - and sense of humour - to an enjoyable, broadly observational set.

His drama-school training gives him a relaxed manner on stage ­ perhaps too relaxed sometimes - and his writing is solid. And while he can't always avoid cliched topics, at least he tries to avoid chiched punchlines.

Most of the set's not quite strong enough to really distinguish himself, but stupid over-exaggerations, and a frank routine about marrying ­ and divorcing ­ young hit the spot.

The memorable gimmick that sets him apart, though, is his cartoons. Taking to the stage with a giant flip-chart, he illustrates his more juvenile moments with some aptly immature Viz-style sketches. And for all their lack of sophistication, they are damn funny.

He is so talented and very funny

Likeable and very cute - Kids TV presenting is probably his niche but nothing wrong with that.

Ed Petrie is a brilliant comedian and is also a brilliant actor/CBBC presenter! His drawings are fantastic!

Vene, June 2009

Not only can he do stand up, but he can act! Some of his performances are amazing and creative to adult standards, let alone children's!

Charlotte, April 2008

His material's not strong enough to reverse an intense dislike of his annoying schoolboy personality.
