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!"
