“★★★★ THE UNDENIABLE INTELLIGENCE OF ERIC LAMPAERT’S STAND-UP RARELY STOPS HIM FROM INDULGING IN SILLINESS OR, OCCASIONALLY, OUTRIGHT WEIRDNESS.” – TV BOMB
“★★★★ HE MAKES IT LOOK SO EASY BUT THIS IS A MAN WITH VERY FUNNY BONES. DEFINITELY ONE TO CATCH.” – DAILY EXPRESS
“★★★★ BRILLIANT SILLINESS.” – THE FEST
“★★★★ SUPERB BANTER THAT WAS CLEARLY IMPROVISED. THE SIGN OF A GOOD COMEDIAN.” – THREE WEEKS
“★★★★ LAMPAERT IS AT EASE WITH THE PERFORMER-PUNTER DYNAMIC, DISPLAYING A COOL COMIC EASE THAT GROUNDS THE SHOW. NATURAL COMIC FLAIR AND THE KNACK FOR A DECENT HOOK, ACTION-PACKED AND RAPID, EXPLORING THE LESS-TRADITIONAL DELIVERY STYLE REALLY WORKS FOR HIM, AND SHOULD PROVE ENOUGH COMIC BITE TO TAKE HIM TO THE NEXT LEVEL. ” – THE SKINNY
“QUIRKY WITH AN EYE FOR THE ABSURD AND A COUPLE OF NEAR-IZZARDIAN FLOURISHES… ENERGY IS SUCH THAT IT’S ALMOST OSMOTIC” – THE STAGE
