Response "Geoff

at the coal face, digging out nuggets of information to fuel his comedy."
- Independent on Sunday, August 2006 "Geoff
Whiting was the perfect compere. His lack of ego, his audience technique, and,
of course, some great material, were a perfect warm-up for the main-billed acts."
Funny.co.uk "...a
master of the 'That's so True' type of humour. He ad-libbed brilliantly and hooked
the audience." Evening Standard "...wonderfully
confident, highly entertaining..." Scene Magazine Bristol
