After reading the review I wasn't expecting much. But he was excellent. He started off with a great off the cuff piece aimed at the guy who was treating his future bride to the New Forest for her honeymoon. Then he was just very funny for the rest of his set.

Saw him at Comedy Store and he was fabulous. I laughed 'til I cried. I think you have to know the culture he rips it out of to see the joke - being a parent helps; being a pretentious middle-class ostrich doesn't! Asking boys the way to Asda and being none the wiser in spite of ten minutes explanation? Hilariou! He is a star

It may be the case that his material won't live too long in the memory after he performs. Perhaps a second viewing would expose weaknesses in his act. However, on the night I saw him at the Comedy Store, Alderton was absolutely electric. He delighted the crowd with his schizophrenic Lord Of The Rings rountine and his musical numbers and microphone trickery, while verging on cabaret, were an utter delight. With some acts you are required to leave your cynicism at home, Terry Alderton is most definitely such an act.

Very unfair review Chortle. We went to have a laugh, and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. Keep up the good work Terry

Terry is f**king awesome.

Oh Chortle, how you are so wrong! I have had the pleasure of seeing Terry on many occasions and on all of these he has had the audience in stitches from the moment he stepped on stage. Every time an encore was called for and the man obliged. Terry truly is a comedy genius.

Say what you like in your review, Terry holds the record for encores at The Comedy Store, London. A consistant crowd-pleaser who can play the room brilliantly. His comedy is not 'high-brow' or 'wordy' but neither is it mainstream. Terry is much more physical than most stand-ups, and although that does not appeal to everybody, there is no doubt that he is one of the best comedians on the circuit.intelligent, technically excellent and most importantly very very funny. For those sick of the Peter Kay, Ricky Gervais comedy fare, make sure and check out Lee - rightly described as comedy heroin.

Just seen Terry at the Komedia in Brighton (Sun 26 Feb.). Best comedian I have seen there. Got a standing ovation and 'encore' request which he duly obliged. Fantastic night with Terry very much the 'icing'
