Here’s some press quotes and some links to articles about me, should you fancy reading them.
“wonderfully gritty … his struggles with mental illness and alcoholism make for impressive comic pickings” The Guardian
“It’s obvious that Jim Smallman is a natural-born compere. He has such an easy rapport with the audience and tells his tales with a fluidity and energy that keeps everyone attentive. He could talk the hind legs off a donkey, but you suspect the donkey wouldn’t really mind … he’s an instinctive storyteller who draws out the humour in every anecdote. On the comedy spectrum, he falls somewhere between Frank Skinner and Dave Gorman … his silver-tongued banter is likely to charm most audiences” Chortle
“a talented comic” TimeOut
“the second he focuses, he’s unbeatable … there’s an anger and sarcasm worthy of Jack Dee, Jo Brand, maybe even Bill Hicks. And all the time there’s this sense of impotent outrage, of righteous frustration, that’s up there with Basil Fawlty, the Blackadder dynasty, maybe even vintage Alexei Sayle” 4Laughs
“Smallman playfully ruminates on his very comic life experiences… an engaging and entertaining performance and a truly enjoyable evening” Three Weeks
