Original Review:

A brilliantly silly act, Vine's quickfire puns are a guaranteed winner - and not necessarily because of their quality. A large proportion of the gags are so painfully contrived that they would shame the average Victorian music hall turn, as Vine acknowledges, but these are mixed with enough genuinely inspired gems to make it work, and work well. The pace is relentless, too, so that even the most hard-hearted comedy-goer will yield to the onslaught. Fantastic stuff.

Absolutely brilliant. Along with Lee Mack. Tim's the best of the best.Closely followed by Tom Stade. Highly Recommended.

I was picked out the audience as a guest with Brian May . It's my new claim to fame. Tim Vine was brilliant.

John Venters, September 2011

Saw the Chat Show at Edinburgh. Tim was brilliant but the format involving members of the audience was disappointing. Really didn't want to see a lot of egotistical prats making fools of themselves. Prefer the one man routine although it must be harder work

Richard, August 2011

Saw him in Stoke, poor man's Tommy Cooper without the talent. Waste of an evening.

Cali, May 2011

Second time we've seen him (last night, Wakefield Theatre Royal), second time I've pulled a muscle from laughing.rnrnHis support act's still crap though...

Chris, April 2011

One of the finest comedians of our age. Up there with Stewart Francis, Jack Dee and Lee Mack. Truly brilliant.

Ben, November 2010

Thank you for making me laugh
