Will plays the very English role of a silly, confused posh guy impossibly out of depth in a hostile world. We laugh at his charming ineptitude, his boyish goofiness, his endearing nerviness… but before he disintegrates into just another sad loser he turns the tables and we realise it's society that's to blame. And we laugh all the harder because we share in his sense of injustice. Will's set works because he's a nerd but a nerd in control. In control of his material, the situation, even the hecklers. He deprecates his own failings, shoots a few poison darts where it's needed, even fantasises about being gay without – thank God – turning into yet another crude stereotype. A true upper-class wit.

have seen Will in Edinburgh for the last few years and the shows keep getting better and better! Very witty, clever, hilarious, slick delivery - I don't think I've ever laughed so hard!

Supported Ricky Gervais and was excellent, a very funny man
Nastassia - 05/12/2006
I think he is utterly fabulous and amazing and definitly deserves more publicity than he already has. How To Be Cool was absolutely brilliant and was unlike anything I've ever seen. Very quirky and he knows how to entertain people.

A wonderful performer - quick to laugh at himself whilst also subtly dealing with ideas of coolness that make the audience think and reflect. A delight to watch and enormously likeable, Will deserves a much higher profile.
Hayley - 16/08/2006
Hilarious guy. Worth watching
Mike - 07/08/2006
Very funny, original material, clever delivery, makes a very refreshing change
Nick - 27/06/2006
Hilarious

I saw Will last weekend at the Comedy Pub, absolutely fantastic, he was the closing act why did it have to finish?

Hilarious, timing was excellent, original material. Would see him again. Lynda C Nicholson 15.01.06

Truly superb last night at Roar With Laughter (Colliers Wood). There is a depth to the material far greater than just an upper-middle class man drawing attention to his own quirks and foibles. His self-deprecation is funny and charming enough by itself, but it has the added effect of getting you on his side when he rails against sundry injustices in a hilarious and often inspired fashion. The last sane man in a world gone mad.
Alex - 11/12/2005
Makes me feel a little apologetic about being middle class.
Jason Holdcroft - 10/10/2005
Lively, a bit different and genuinely funny. An encyclopaedic - if slightly disturbing - knowledge of Bergerac is employed to good use. He has a boyish enthusiasm and innocence which lulls the audience into a false sense of security before he delivers precision strikes on his targets
Bella - 21/03/2005
Have seen him a few times and was disappointed the third time as it was all the same material
Laura - 18/03/2005
Although his Edinburgh show last year was first rate, Will really needs to work on new material for his ordinary stand up. I've seen him about four times in the last two years and he's still using the same set - even when returning to the same club.
Manc Dave - 07/03/2005
Fantastic, original, best thing i've seen in a long long time
An Amused Person - 22/01/2005
Jolly good show, what?
Tony Starks - 20/01/2005
Very funny guy
Elaine - 22/08/2004
Very original, very appealing and above all very funny. Saw him at Edinburgh and would rate the show as five star
Monida - 31/07/2004
Was a little worried when he was announced and my friend - not a fan of his - groaned in dismay. I found him utterly hilarious though. I love his self deprecating style, although he can certainly turn the tables just as effectively. Handled an annoying heckler extremely well. To put it in his own words, when he's on stage he's winning.
Liz Lucas - 29/06/2004
Saw Will last night at the Last Laugh venue, Sheffield. What a refreshing change from the usual stand-ups His use of PowerPoint was brilliant and original, and he has a fascinating, warped & obsessive fixation with Bergerac. His hounding of the BBC executive who wouldn't release it on DVD was absolutely brilliant.
Kerry - 18/05/2004
One of the funniest things I've ever seen
Chris - 08/05/2004
Comedy by numbers! Just seen him at Hitchin Comedy Club and he bombed. Not sure if it was new material or the fact that having a fantasy about being gay is only funny for the first ten minutes.
Will - 03/04/2004
I thought this was great. He does, however, need to expand and try to avoid becoming a one-trick pony to really hit the big time.
Nath - 30/11/-0001
Saw Will at the Dancehouse,Manchester - very funny! Unfortunately only 60 people were there to see him (in a 500 seater), but he handled it well.
Rowena Tew - 30/11/-0001
He is one of the funniest most original comics there are. Also very refreshing is the minimal use of swear words. I think he is great, very funny and well worth going out of your way to see.
