Steve, as a fringe goer who attempts to avoid the headliners of the festival, I am completely shocked by your review. Next to the other less famous and better known comics who partake in the event, Mike Wozniak's was literally the best show that I have ever seen at the fringe and I have been going for several years now. Wozniak did not grab onto the momentary safety net of bad language, avoided the obvious jokes concerning his Polish heritage where possible and delivered an hour of very tightly packed and brilliantly produced material. Also, perhaps consider Mike resembles a mixture between John Cleese and David Attenborough in his manor and delivery. At around £5 for a hour, what more could any audience ask for?!

Your review suggested that wozniak's routine and delivery resembled that of Richard Herring. Are you sure you're not thinking of Stewart Lee. I was at the reviewed show and while I liked some of the material, it really pissed me off how similar his delivery style was to Lee. "they share a cadence of pausing after crucial words as they determinedly push and prod the same point from different angles; they share a precise use of repetition and formal language in a tightly-scripted set; and they share a subtly underplayed sarcasm." Is a description better suited to Lee. You sure you weren't thinking of Stewart Lee?
