I think his understated delivery allows the material to stand on its own. The jokes are sheer quality and class and he has a certin charm that means he will be extremely successful without flapping and noncing around like a lot of others

Bah, don't bury the guy just cos he doesn't do endless jokes about tits and ass, or banal nonsense that every other comedian on the fringe seems to thrive on. This is a genuinely funny guy, who entertains through his genius and humerous delivery - if you don't want to think about your world, go and see some other crap.

Zaltzman is better on content than on presentation, long live Zaltzman. Presentation can be worked on, better material can only be written by someone else. Harsh review, with care and nurture, this boy could be a home counties Bill Hicks

You may need to alter the delivery in your head a bit if you're desperate for laugh-out-loud gags, but his Edinburgh show made for a thoroughly absorbing hour, and I laughed more than enough. And I'm not even an Oxbridge graduate. You'll need some mental agility though.

This man is funny and right. Confound the critics ... go see him. But only if you can read, write and don't give a fuck about Big Brother.

Jane Mackay, August 2002

This man is everything a comedian shouldn't be. I was very tempted to wait behind afterwards to ask for my entrance fee back. His routine is poor at best and if the only people that he appeals to are Oxbridge graduates then he should get a residency there instead of peddling his act around the country. Zaltzman, give up.

Loads of stuff to chew over, not enough time to fit the laughs in. Liked him though, had a lot of amusing nonsense to talk about and the lack of traditional punchlines didnt hurt him one bit..Recommended.
