Dress David Mitchell in a Town Crier’s outfit, give him a handbell and put him under the spotlight on a stage, and he will give you a powerful demonstration of how to have an audience eating out of his hand. Couple that with an undoubted ability to present the foibles of human life in a humorous, intimate and self-deprecating way, and you have an evening of entertainment which is unusual and not to be missed. Brian Carter, Past President of the Association of Speakers Clubs (Review of one-man stage show “For Crying Out Loud!”)

I enjoyed the show enormously … good pace … sufficient variety of the serious and the silly to keep my attention throughout. An affectionate piece that walked the uninitiated from the beginnings of the humble town crier to the modern day role with elegance and élan and a particularly fetching outfit!! Councillor Bob Thompson

It was a real joy to be there … just the tonic we needed. Teresa Davies
