How he presents

His style of comedy, and ability to perform an entirely clean set without compromising on the laughs (but also to ‘strengthen’ the language when appropriate, without descending into vulgarity) and his relative maturity and reference points have made him a great hit with audiences perhaps tired of hearing the same old jokes from some of the more ‘mainstream’ comedians.

What he offers you

Prompting reviewers to describe him as "demonically dry" and "sublime" Evans is one of those stand-ups who just seem to have been hit by the funny stick. The delivery is relentless and the material intelligent and sharp.
