“Mesmerising”
“If you ever get the chance to see the storyteller Michael Harvey, you should go. Just trust me. Book tickets and turn up.”
“Harvey is a master near the top of his game…Michael Harvey has an impressive stage presence, that rare mixture of ego and modesty, both sides deployed expertly and with sincerity. ”
“You’re guided through this world by a master storyteller. It’s he who makes the direct connection, who gets your trust and earns it and who pumps the lifeblood round ”
“It takes a good storyteller to make all of that worth listening to – and Michael Harvey played a blinder, with an absolutely hilarious performance. ”
