Very trad Dad, especially by today's standards. All gimmicks, cheesy puns and cheesier 'magic' "tricks". Also blissfully, effortlessly, refreshingly funny!

I've had the pleasure of witnessing Otiz's comedy genius on many occasions, and still find him side-splittingly funny. He is the master of mirth. Much underrated, his friendly manner and subtle delivery make him an unmissable act.

He appeared at Hemel Old Town Hall last night and was excellent. The audience laughed from start to finish. He completed his act by humiliating some old git on stage (me !) with a funny routine involving a blindfold, a pack of cards and an orange. Well worth seeing.

Pay attention when he's on. You get a feeling that this a genuinely happy and content man telling you the interesting and amusing things that happen to his twin brother. Most of the gags very quickly step into a parallel universe built for amusement and marketing men are honest: where LeatherLand and World of Leather are competing theme parks on a paradisal ocean highway called the A406. So, he's not an angry young man, but he is very funny.

My hero

I saw him during the Melbourne Comedy Festival 2004 and instantly assumed he was going to be shite (the name, his look etc). He was however one of those acts you start laughing at despite yourself because the (terrible, yet very funny) gags are just relentless. There's nothing funnier than bad magic. Really very likeable and enjoyable, which isnt intended to be the damning with faint praise that it sounds.

Saw him at Manchester Comedy Store. He was excellent, my face was hurting after he finished.

Fred Smith, May 2004

I saw him in Manchester and he got totally led astray by the audience. A poor man's Joe Pasquale, the combination of supposedly funny magic and comedy did not gel at all and the biggest cheers came when he closed his set. Great as a kid's entertainer, but just not good enough as a stand-up.
