I saw him last night and it was painful. A horribly unfunny night.

Saw him in a sell-out show and he was energy personified. The venue was like an oven and there were people standing at the back and at the sides who must have been struggling to stand for an hour in that heat. Good show though and he didn't let the heat get to him. His act was fresh and personal and he engaged in some nice moments with the audience, who seemed to enjoy it with lots of laughs.

Chris Durkin s material was not bad and his enthusiasm to perform was infectious but the show wasn t funny enough. To his credit, he continued amiably when four of the ten people in the audience walked out during the performance.

Went to the preview show of Easily Distracted last night and was very pleasantly surprised! I hadn't heard of Chris Durkin before, but we took a chance as you do with many fringe acts. Turned out to be a really good show and I highly recommend it. Got a feeling Chris Durkin is a star in the making. Great show Chris!

I know someone who heard him do a 5 minute spot in Glasgow and he was hilarious! Should be a good show.

I think he is a genius; he invented a way to get publicity out of a handicap and that's bigger than selling one-legged turkeys from a three-wheel van

I read the article about Chris on Chortle and what he's attempting takes a lot of guts. I plan to see his show just to see if he can pull it off. I wish him the very best of luck.
