"A star of the future. Some of the most surprising and thought-provoking material coming from any comedian in his early 20s." The Guardian
"Highly original, inspired and suitably different from the rest of the crowd. Brilliantly crafted jokes." Comedy Central
"A real venom in his delivery seemed to communicate that the numerous laughs that he manages to obtain are just positive collateral to the message he is trying to portray" Broadway Baby
"A tight confident set with some exceedingly clever moments." Broadway Baby
"A much-needed voice against hypocrisy as well as a wonderfully talented stand-up comedian, Joe Wells uses his comedy to burst a gigantic hole in the sides of homophobia, misogyny and racism while still managing to remain funny throughout." Portsmouth Evening News
Plus short sets from NATALIE BRYCE and DUNCAN ADAM!
