‘Boothby Graffoe is a multi-talented, darkly hilarious, grade A British eccentric, who can twist your funny bone one minute, and break your heart the next. A musical comedy act who is more musical than most musicians, and funnier than most comedians.’
– Stewart Lee, foul-mouthed left-wing comedian
‘If I had to compare him to anyone, it would be Spike Milligan.’ – Omid Djalili
press quotes
‘The world would be a poorer place without his eccentric turn of phrase. Graffoe’s long time collaborator, the unassuming multi-instrumentalist Nick Pynn, accompanies him on-stage: as well as adding subtle texture to the songs, he comes close to stealing the show with folksy musical interludes on violin, guitar and Appalachian dulcimer.’ – The Times
‘Rare among comedy singer-songwriters in that he’s not intensely twee and annoying.’
The Sunday Times, Culture Section (Must Sees & The Critical List)
‘Sings songs that are both beautiful and funny’ – The Guardian
‘…. Nick Pynn. Brighton’s own folk-rock dignitary’s skill, along with comic timing, complimented Graffoe’s exquisitely twisted lyrics perfectly to produce a show as entertaining musically as it was funny. This show was as fun for the performers as it was the audience, long may this fertile collaboration continue.’ – Brighton Argus
‘About as challenging as a warm bath, infused with the radox of whimsy.’ Chortle
