“It is really smart stuff, elegantly exposing the hypocrisy of a lot of self-proclaimed male feminists and asking powerful questions about power and presentation in drama, and in fringe theatre in particular.” The Stage "A deliriously fun and nonsensical hour full of tiny little treats” The List “You’ll struggle to find a comedian with a better jokes per minute rate… like a one-man episode of Arrested Development” Fest

“He’s fantastically funny, leaving you wondering how he possibly comes up with these structural masterpieces” EdFestMag

“Laws is on top form at the moment, talking nonsense of the highest order… a chronically funny stand up” TimeOut
