PRESS

"Stephen K Amos is the embodiment of charisma. From the first minute to the last, he never lets the audience out of the palm of his hand. Amos's show is packed with well-observed material, performed hilariously. His affection for the audience is the killer blow, culminating in an all-singing, all-dancing party to which everyone is invited. No one could possibly have left this feel good show without a beaming smile on their face. A real stormer" Chortle

"Half the audience would probably be squirming with terror, were it not for his winning charm and irrepressible charisma. Amos gives the impression of one born to entertain. He keeps the gags flowing thick and fast with sharp observations and stories before producing more devastating one-liners from up his sleeve" Metro

"A lovely warm manner .......a great performer" The Times

"This year he has gained in stature, the first black British comic to really rock the Fringe in years. It's a strong show, with excellent gags and the finest ending on the Fringe" Sunday Times

“One of the best comperes in the business” Time Out

PRESS FOR THE FEELGOOD FACTOR 2009

"This is a show that makes being in the blistering heat of the Pleasance Grand worthwhile...smart and likeable" The Scotsman

"Enjoyable, well performed and most importantly, hilarious." **** Three Weeks

"With a joyfully daft opening and a warm and wonderful end, he will leave you wrapped in good feelings" **** The Skinny

"Amos is clearly a force field of good-hearted charisma" The List

"Stephen K Amos was on top of his game...smart, quick and unapologetic" Ed Fest Mag

"He has the air of a champion boxer about him, the utter confidence that comes from practice and seasoning. This is, of course, irresistibly powerful... There is something almost 'un-Fringe' about a polished show, the performer not having to scrap like a rabid dog to feel in control; but when a comedian is this solid, this consistent, this enjoyable; I couldn't actually give a toss" Fresh Air FM

"Stephen K Amos is as integral to Edinburgh Fringe as hangovers and poor weather, but for sure he is far more enjoyable. Now playing in the biggest space on the Fringe and regularly selling it out Amos is certainly one of the most popular comedians here this month" **** One4Review

PRESS FOR SCHOOL FOR SCANDAL 2009

"Raucous, anarchic and hugely entertaining" **** The Times

"Set to be a Fringe hit thanks to inspired bit of casting... Stephen K Amos wirks his periwig to the max... A romping good crowd-pleaser." ***** Sunday Telegraph

"Sumptuous, luscious, and slapstick, it delighted its audience throughout" Observer

"An all-star cast including Lionel Blair, Marcus Brigstocke and Stephen K Amos come up trumps in this perennial stage favourite" News of the World

"this show is about direct audience address, ridiculous body language and shameless ad-libbing, and duly harvests the laughs" Scotland On Sunday

"Real theatrical fireworks...this is a rip-roaring romp. People who don't normally go to the theatre should be urged to go along to see this because it's a great example of the fun and exhilaration to be experienced watching staged drama and the cast are clearly having an absolute ball doing it. With a couple of sell-out shows behind them, tickets for this show look set to fly out of the box office. It is a fantastic way to spend 90 minutes of your afternoon and is quite simply not to be missed." ***** The Mirror

"Obviously a show with West End potential" Scotsman

"Deliciously infectious... you'll laugh out loud" **** Fest

"This is what the Fringe is about - an ensemble cast of comedians and tap dancers (OK, one tap dancer) in a riotous 18th-century romp. Plucking comics such as Stephen K Amos, Marcus Brigstock and Phil Nichol from their own shows, director Cal McCrystal has adapted RB Sheridan's five-act comedy of manners into a dizzying 90 minutes" **** The Metro

"This play is a riot...The camaraderie amongst the cast is extended to the audeince, drawing them in to the scandal and the energy on set with an infectious sense of fun" ***** Ed Fest Mag


PRESS FOR FIND THE FUNNY 2008
"For sheer entertainment value Amos is tough to beat" Evening Standard

“Surefire bet for a night of laughter” **** Chortle

“The show rocked!” **** One4Review.com

“Phenomenal talent…pitch perfect stand up” ***** Hairline

" A hurricane of relentlessly energetic charisma, Amos has the crowd eating out of his hand and unites everyone in laughter" The List

"He's inspiring, acutely clever and irresistibly funny" edfestmag

"Born to entertain" The Guardian

"Radiates charm and exudes joy...a truly uplifting performer" Time Out

PRESS FOR MORE OF ME 2007
“Genuinely side-splitting…truly top class comedian…the man is simply brilliant” ***** Ed Fest

“Tender and masterful material…guaranteed a good time with this talented pro…seamless flow of quality” **** The List

“Watching hin work a crowd is to watch a master at work” **** The Metro

“Easily one of the best comperes in the country, full to bursting with charm and warmth” **** Chortle

“A comedy tour d’force” **** Three Weeks

“You’ll laugh until you actually cry” ***** Sunday Express

“His fuel injected comedia brain ensures that the show is both redemptive and achingly funny” **** The Scotsman

PRESS FOR WEEKEND CHAT SHOW 2007
“Amos was bursting with energy and intelligent wit …… the more than merry Saturday night audience was a tough crowd to please, but Amos carried the show with effortless charm and professionalism, keeping both energy and laughter levels high for the duration. You really get your money’s worth from this great variety show featuring a diverse range of performers and gloriously resided over by the immensely funny and charismatic host.” **** Ed Fest Mag

PRESS FOR ALL OF ME 2006
“Top notch banter…great show” **** Sunday Times

“Cheek numbing, tear-inducing entertainment” ***** Sunday Express

“Positively luminescent…damn loveable…a master entertainer.” Metro

“From Stephen’s first words were laughing. And it didn’t stop. His entire audience laughed and laughed and laughed. I quite literally wept with laughter. My sides hurt with laughter. I was still laughing on the bus home. That night I woke myself up laughing out loud.” ***** ScotsGay

“After an hour of this man’s stand up, my cheeks were aching from grinning so heartily, his humour is that infectious” The Scotsman

“Stephen K Amos has so much ebullient, effervescent good cheer…there is no such thing as a bad hour in Amos’s company.”**** Chortle

“A true master of his art.” ***** One4Review.com
