Saw this guy again last night and he confirmed what I thought first time I tuned in to The Million Pound Radio Show over twenty years ago: namely, he has it all. And if there were any justice in this world he'd be a household name. Grabs your attention with snappy one-liners, holds you in the palm of his hand as he ranges from the sublime (religion) to the ridiculous (kebab-fuelled farts) through the just plain kookie (Brits as birds). Watch Nick and see how it's done. Or just watch him and laugh yerself stoopid.

Went down like a lead balloon at Greenwich last night, looking around the room hardly anyone laughing. More than one person shouted "Tell us a joke", shame really - maybe it was just a bad day for him.

Nick Revell took a few moments to find his comedy gears, but once he found his sweet spot he rocked the room. Effortlessly weaving in and out of different characters to embolden his flights of fantasy he soon has you in his world and you don't want to leave. With a strong stage presence this hardened pro knows how to work all areas of an audience and doesn't fall into the trap of focusing his energy into one spot. His section on reinterpreting the dawn chorus as comparable to a territorial lads night out for getting your leg over was inspired. He has a strong grip on on the language of northern aggression and when Nick reconstructs male northerners exchanging abuse over philosophical theories you are in no doubt you are in the presence of a powerful imagination. With the comic energy to wake up a morgue you get the feeling you could parachute this man in front of the most reluctant of audiences and he'll get them laughing, outstanding act, go see him.

Can't believe how under-rated this guy is when so many of his contemporaries have gone on to churn out sitcoms. Shame on them. Keep it up Nick!
Michael Monkhouse, September 2007
Could give so many of his contemporaries lessons on how to combine political commentary, sharp observations on human behaviour and the angrily absurd into a riotous, beguiling, comedic tour-de-force. Brilliant.

Nick's sharp witt and ability to develop a great story of the most ordinary daily occurance make him my favourite comedian by a long mark. Not heard Nick Revell? Find him

With great irony, on the day that comedy legend Ronny Barker died, this guy died on stage in Swindon and then walked off stage in a huff

One of the best things to happen to the comedy scene in ages is the return of Nick Revell, bluntly, a f**king brilliant comic that still has an edge so dearly lacking in so many Comedy Store/Jongleurs acts these days.
