Milton was absolutely brilliant…in fact he was the best ever! The whole audience was in fits of laughter and I have not belly laughed like that for a long time. I would say at least half his audience got up and shook his hand afterwards. He was a huge success and what a nice fella he is.
Milton was very well received and did a fantastic job in revitalising what had become a very traditional format. They now have an appetite for more adventurous performers" - Chamber of Commerce.
