Original Review:

A sleek, professional act, Jonas has clearly studied plenty of other stand-ups to ensure the pace, emphasis and rhythm of his delivery is spot-on.

It’s an effective, if impersonal, approach – redolent of the slick comics who dominate the American circuit, but so confident and engaging that it's guaranteed to hit the right buttons.

He plays fairly safe with the material, too, covering all the usual bases from broad-brush political material, relationships, drinking or simply just being Australian abroad; with a topical line or two help keep the mix fresh.

This ex-marketing man’s persona is similarly accessible, plays up the selfish, laddish elements of any male’s character but keeping it impishly cheeky.

Essentially, this is a comic who knows what he’s doing. He’s taken a blueprint and followed it scrupulously, creating a rock-solid act guaranteed to entertain, even if it’s at the expense of individuality.

This guy is funny, and 'cheeky' is the perfect word for him. I have seen him 3 or 4 times and have laughed at his performances. One criticism would be that he uses the same material too often. Steve1 23.06.05

Didn't find him funny in the slightest, neither did the audience as a whole. Go back to Oz, mate!

Pete is brilliant, make no mistake he can wow any audience big or small. I have seen him many times and he never fails to impress.

Pretty formulaic (both in terms of content and approach) but plenty of laughs so who cares? Overall an enjoyable evening. But never a great one.

I saw Pete Jonas last Saturday at The Comedy Tree in Putney. The way in which he delivered his material was excellent and I laughed hard throughout. I loved the Hollyoaks joke. Hilarious! Will definitely see him again!

Seen Pete many times. Laugh out loud funny every time.

Trust me, you've heard it all before. Cheery just so long as the audience laughs. When it doesn't it is apparently their fault. Odd really. I found him charmless.

Pete is a very good, put together act. I have seen him many times and everytime I like him more and more. He's Australian with an attitude, and I love it Dham 22.06.05
