Jimmy Hogg: Potayto Potahto

Jimmy Hogg


The Potato King returns with a NEW SHOW from award-winning British comedian and 12X BEST OF FRINGE WINNER.
“The Potato King is also king of big laughs. Hogg is a fantastically engaging performer, sort of like if Ricky Gervais had more energy, and he weaves all his stories with brilliantly vivid descriptions and razor-sharp humour.” -Edmonton Journal. 
“Jimmy Hogg is a master. And yes, I do mean that in a mildly kinky — and entirely pleasurable— way. Hogg’s delivery in the stand-up/storytelling of The Potato King is almost furiously energetic. He rants, he yells. He gets your attention. And he goes on hilariously relentless rhythmic riffs... And he finesses his work with a deep understanding of the rich satisfactions of story structure and surprise. A whole lot of The Potato King is about food. It’s weird. And it pays off. Jimmy Hogg knows what he’s doing” -Colin Thomas

“A master of the callback... Rik Mayall, whisked together with a lightness of touch reminiscent of a young Stewart Lee.” -Ben Blyth, The Beer Tent reviews, Edmonton 

“Part Rik Mayall, Eric Idle and Eddie Izzard, bellowing British comedy-actor Jimmy Hogg whips around the stage like an excitable Labrador puppy. Hysterically tangential.” -Now Toronto

***** “Dickens would love this guy.”- Orlando Sentinel

“He's got a wickedly rapid, sometimes bitterly sharp, delivery.”- CBC

“Telling really funny stories is what Hogg does best. If you want to know how to take ordinary life and turn it into theatre, this guy is a master.”- Orlando Sentinel
