Started comedy in 2005

Paul opened a gig for me in rural Wiltshire and got the show off to a storming start. Great stage presence with plenty of funny gags and stories. Was lucky to get him to open as I'm sure he's closing more and more venues, wouldn't hesitate to book him for, pretty much, any gig as I can't imagine an audience that wouldn't laugh at him. He's a funny man, book him while you can.

One of my favourite comedians to work with on the circuit. We slipped Paul on as a last-minute substitution on the Thursday just gone and he was absolutely outstanding. So good in fact, we had several people complimenting us on his set and asking afterwards: 'Who was that guy?'

Paul has a naturally winning personality and great material - I must have seen him perform 15 times and Ive never seen him have a bad gig. This guy's going all the way

I just got back from his Durham compering He was great - composed, clever, likeable. Good luck to him.

I saw paul at Mackies this Thursday. He was really calm & collected, even though the audience were slightly drunk, rude & loud. Well done mate.

I saw Paul Ricketts in Soho and he was by far the funniest and professional comic on the bill. I was impressed by his material which wasn't the usual stuff I've heard from black comics

Andy Flook, December 2009

I just saw this act. Absolutely brilliant! He was slick, funny and had the room eating out of his hand.

I've gigged with Paul several times this year and his relaxed and cofident style, has allowed him to get big laughs out of the hardest audiences. Great storyteller and great comic.
