Reviews:
“Green is a stand-up audience's dream; his off-the-cuff jokes are so good they could have been scripted, and his clever prepared material is delivered so nonchalantly it could have been improvised...an explosion of comedy that left everyone in stitches" FIVE STARS Three Weeks (May 2009)

"Comic gold...he delivers his observations superbly well, and does not dip in quality at any point. With a great deal of improvisatory talent to fall back on, Green cannot fail to impress anyone who appreciates a good stand-up routine." FOUR STARS Three Weeks (August 2009)

"Intelligent comedy from the highly amusing and terribly baby-faced Green" – The List Pick of the Fringe 2009

"Green is in his element when discussing the crazy goings-on of everyday life...he tells these anecdotes with noticeable zeal – enthusiasm which rubs off on his audience.” Fest (August 2009)

"It’s hard to imagine anyone would leave this show disappointed. It is as solidly satisfying as a carb-laden Fringe dinner...and Green proves himself an adept comic" – Chortle (August 2009)

“effervescent prepubescent charm. Green’s deftly scripted observational material has a brilliantly earnest quality" FOUR STARS The Skinny (August 2009)

"The stories he tells are very amusing with some down right hilarious. I hope you love this talented young man as much as I do - see him before he sells out!" FOUR STARS one4review.com (August 2009)

“He's one of the best MCs around...warm and witty" – LondonIsFunny.com
