A critic is a legless man who teaches running.

H Mac Carthy, October 2010

If Tommy Nicholson is as poor as the reviewer and indeed the last person to comment suggest. How come he's done 5 or 6 Kilkenny Cat Laughs, worked with Daniel Kitson, Ardal O'Hanlon, Tommy Tiernan, Jason Byrne, and the list goes on and on! It's true his comedy is mostly funnier than it is clever, but it certainly has some very bright ideas too. His pieces about 'if the Irish mastered time travel' and his take on when we all get drunk our brains go into a mobile phone mode is totally top notch!

I've seen Tommy Nicholson support Des Bishop in Dublin twice, and he did this same "Navan Set" both times (which means he's been doing it for what, six years now?). The reviewer is spot on; it was dire the first time, and even worse the second time.

Northside Dub, April 2009

The reviewer said it all in his first sentence. 'Its a sign of a good joke if, its funny but you don't understand the reference', he clearly didn't understand any of the references. Everyone else clearly did. Isn't it up to the audience to decide and not some scaldy baastard who just didn't get it?

Tommy is a living proof of the naked joy to be found in performing comedy. A class act all round.

I am from Navan and I have seen Tommy perform. If indeed you can call it performing. Tommy is not what I consider a comedian. Unsophisticated is how I would describe Tommy

This review is obviously written by an English critic, who is trying to tell irish people what to laugh at, and what is funny. If a comic makes his audience laugh, then he has accomplished what he set out to do.

Patrick McGarry, June 2005

Lets get something straight here. The point of a stand up comic is to make an audience laugh and entertain them. Tommy Nicholson does this well. This review says it's not delivered with any charm....does it matter?
