‘An absorbing tale packed with fine gags... woven through are some lovely observations, his characterisation of TK Maxx is damningly spot on... a plucky everyman with more calculated wit than he lets on, expect to see plenty more of Lewis soon’

The Scotsman

‘Whether he's talking about his adventures in truancy or hot oil massage, he speaks with such polished delivery and genuine ability that you can't help but enjoy his set... he interacts with his audience so well that you'd think he'd invited them himself. Lewis has indisputably funny bones’
