ROBIN WILLIAMS
"Wicked fucking funny!"
DOUG STANHOPE
“Working with Simon King was a dream.... He deserves your attention. ”
RORY SCOVEL
"...looking for trouble he’s balls out having a good time....a truly funny guy..."
MIKE BINDER
"Considered one of the best stand-up comedians of his generation..."
"....a force on stage: he gives it to you straight with explosive delivery and his humour always makes you think. Think George Carlin meets Sam Kinison."
THE GEORGIA STRAIGHT
“Reminded many industry insiders of a young Robin Williams.”
THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER
"Finally, Simon King entered the room and, almost as soon as he started speaking, the crowd was roaring with laughter. And the laughter never quieted. King is pure genius.... He never comes off as arrogant, but simply remains likable. And when he topped of his time with a message to the audience about the way people need to be living their lives, it was a poignant moment that proved he cares about what he does. He doesn’t take the stage for granted. He uses it to make us laugh and make us think. And that comparison to George Carlin is not to be taken lightly. King could very well become as influential to comedy as Carlin was."
"It’s not very often a comedian comes along who can perform and write that well. Simon King is a rare talent”
