“Original and intelligent, if Ed Gaughan doesn’t already have a cult fan base they should really set one up” **** Metro

“Eccentric, heartfelt and very funny” ****Guardian

“A surreal disorientating hybrid of theatre, stand up comedy and jazz concert incorporating a talent for accents and impressions with hysterical physical comedy” **** Independent
