Ryan Cullen TSolve – 1
Ryan Cullen is one of my favourite comedians. Hilarious and so dark you think, ‘How the f**k did he end up like this?’
– Daniel Sloss (Netflix)
Big laughs. His material has the ruthlessness of a young Jimmy Carr and the sexual turpitude of Jim Jefferies at his most priapic. This is extraordinary stuff.
– Kate Copstick (The Scotsman)
REALLY good dark humour. One-liners with a dark twist… and great interactions with the crowd!
– The Stand, Glasgow
