"One of my favourite comedians"
Frankie Boyle
“Some of the most surprising and thought provoking material coming from any comedian”
The Guardian
“A hidden gem of the fringe” ★★★★
Chortle
“Recommended”
Heat
"Joe Wells is a skilled jokesmith who threads great gags through intelligent political material that, whilst razor-sharp, is never particularly angry or dark. As the first gross gags open up into smarter, topical ones it's clear that this is a tightly-structured, well thought-out set. Excellent jokes and sly political comment wrapped tightly in a neat parcel which delivers regular, powerful laughs from a delighted audience. He spins new life out of easy targets like bankers and the BNP with some wonderful imagery"
British Comedy Guide
"A star of the future... some of the most surprising and thought-provoking material coming from any comedian in his early 20s"
The Guardian
“Highly original, inspired and suitably different from the rest of the crowd… brilliantly crafted jokes”
Comedy Central
"Proud communist Joe Wells thankfully appeals to the intellect as he discusses the BNP's misunderstanding of flags, fascist propaganda and what would happen if Richard Littlejohn and a harsh comedy reviewer fought to the death. There are solid gags throughout with some unexpected and beautiful turns of phrase. Wells has clearly worked hard building his set, which is well paced, interesting, balanced and funny"
