“a distinguished gentleman comic if ever there was one… he rarely strays from his piano stool, where he knocks out a series of imaginative musical jokes and beautifully-crafted original comedy songs. But don’t mistake him for some tired old cabaret act. He may look old-fashioned, but the material he offers is fresh, contemporary and pin-sharp original” The Guardian (February 2011)
“non-stop invention and brilliant comic craft … Sherwood mixes dry, gently cerebral comedy with moments of inspired silliness” The Guardian (February 2010)
“gloriously pedantic and quite brilliant” The Scotsman
“elegant, intelligent stand-up” The Guardian
“Spoofing classic pop songs, James Sherwood seamlessly interweaves the political and satirical into the inspired ditties tapped out on his keyboard” **** Three Weeks
“witty and erudite, with a sequence of snappy comic songs – some satirical, some giggling-fit-inducing surreal nonsense” **** Latest 7 Magazine
“ten minutes in and the tears of laughter are already present … think Stephen Fry does Elton John” **** Spoonfed
“The highpoints of his show are when he performs his own songs with fully developed inventive lyrics. His combination of musical humour and patter between songs is a winning format” **** one4review
“his piece grammatically correcting songs is worth the ticket price along … clever, funny and will have fans singing along” Chortle
“savage satire” Sunday Times
“fantastic” TimeOut
