Quotes.
“Don Biswas is a unique performer who boldly takes to the stage despite suffering from, Asperger’s syndrome and Dyspraxia. A phenomenal gag teller with an engaging stage persona, Don Biswas shows all the signs of a truly great comic”
Broadway Baby
“His fresh takes on current affairs are consistently hilarious. This will be the first time many audience members would have laughed with, and not at, a conspiracy theorist. at more solemn moments, his sincerity cuts through the jovial atmosphere to reveal a great intellect, and an ability to correctly and resonantly sum up a certain political reality. clever, funny and insane.”
Hecklers Comedy Club
“Don Biswas put more emphasis on slick one-liners, which made much of his Asperger’s and Asian background”
London is Funny
“By the quality of his jokes alone, including a choice one about a corporate gig for the DWP, Biswas is the show’s star turn.”
