Brilliantly funny and engaging. Ollie has a special talent for improvising and exploring material while keeping the audience at ease with his strong stage presence and clever wit.

So funny I spat my drink out!
A very funny and dynamic show that goes where the audience takes it, whilst showing off its originality and creativity.
Our group all enjoyed it!

Saw many Clowns but Ollie is the best. He is fun (no sad messages at the end) and able to actually improvise the whole show in an incredible dynamic way. I hope you keep it dynamic as it is. Was perfect!

I've seen a huge amount of Clowning this fringe and Ollie is some of the best.
Absurd, clever, free spirited, laughs came ofter and I could've watched for another hour. Deffo one to check out.

Very few clowns out there to brave what Ollie West is doing. It's underground, it's cult, it's fringe, it's rock and roll. Very funny, daft and really lets you see what a great clown can do when left alone to his own devices

This was a delight! We fell about laughing and there were no boring moments .Simple format but hilarious physical comedy. Audience need to get involved but in a funny , non-threatening way. We’re going to go again as it will be different each time ; perfect for a late night giggle.

I am happy to have discovered “Discovery”. Ollie West knows how to hold the space. He creates a great atmosphere for idiocy. I hope that more people will take a chance to discover this show.

My first time watching clown comedy (and if you haven’t seen any before, it’s not what you think it is) and had a great time. Very strong and funny performer in Ollie West, thoroughly recommend!

This is brilliant absurdist comedy. I laughed all the way through - the funniest show I've seen this year. Grab a pint and just go with it.
