Press
"My highlight was JUNIOR SIMPSON. A vigorous raconteur and
vibrant mimic with lots to say. His compact yet complex set
included a searing satire of Ragamuffin music, impressions of
Martin Luther King, Sean Connery and a Pentecostal preacher plus
a hilarious, yet poignant, routine about his parents' reaction
to his debut on BBC2's The Real McCoy. It ought to be the first
of many-watch that man!"
