Reviews
PRECIOUS LITTLE TALENT
“As Sam, Matt Jessup is jaw-droppingly good; he easily conveys an American wide-eyed and wide-armed optimism, spouting epigrams from fortune cookies as if they were truths, believing that a motto on a car bumper could save a life one day. ” - Richard Maguire (Reviews Hub)
*****
“The star of the show has to be Matt Jessup who fits the role of Sam so well. Instantly likeable, he infuses [a character] which could be seen as somewhat depressing with energy and positivity leading to many comedic moments throughout.” - Olivia Gibbs-Fairley (A Younger Theatre)
“Matt Jessup and Rebecca Collingwood effortlessly charming and natural as the young couple.” - Catherine Bardrick (Essential Surrey)
****
THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST
“Jessup has fantastic comedy chops. He’s also a great physical performer …and he’s simply a joy to watch throughout. The real pleasure in watching Jessup is that he never stops being there for a moment.” - Steve Stratford (Art Scene in Wales)
“Matt Jessup ... displayed an ease and comfort onstage that would be envied by any actor ... his repartee was second-to-none. Jessup was suave, cool and outright hilarious and brought a brilliant energy to the role.” - Sarah Gibson (North West End)
