Charming and disarming, he held the audience in the palm of his hand and made them helpless with laughter. He puts wit and polish centre stage. " - Julia Chamberlain"Opened for me on tour, a superb act to follow. Blown away by his funny, they loved him. Catch him now, he's got it." - Stephen K Amos"Hilarious young comic...definitely one to watch" - The Argus"Wins the audience over immediately with a combination of great material and confidence" - Glee Club"Kelsey has pitch perfect delivery and a keen sense of what's funny that many older and more experienced comedians would kill for, and he's damned good with hecklers too." - David Mulholland, Soho Comedy Club"Definitely one to watch, an extremely strong 10 and easily capable with a well put together set. He's only 20 and very accomplished with excellent timing and a very natural presence. Very accessible. Room were on board with him throughout, audience really liked him." - The Stand Comedy Club"Having booked Kelsey for paid work, he's never failed to impress. He has the charisma, confidence and material to go a very long way. A notable difference for Kelsey against some of his peers is the positive audience 'buzz' he creates afterwards - a very good sign of someone with great potential. It's often said but Kelsey is definitely 'one to watch'." Ricky Powell, Mock Tudor Comedy & Other clubs booker"One of the most exciting rising stars of the UK comedy circuit, Kelsey is destined for great things. A young comic with a massive future." - Happy Shark ComedyTwitter: @kelseystandup
