Reviews & Testimonials...
"Lovdev Barpaga to the rescue, then – thanks to a very funny performance from his great opening line to the end of his pun-filled set. He’s old-fashioned in both writing, with proper pub-style one-liners, and delivery. He is basically a 21st Century, Asian Ken Goodwin – the 1970s stand-up who used to reduce himself to hysterics when appearing on shows such as The Comedians. It’ s considered vulgar to laugh at your own jokes these days, but Barpaga’s chuckles at gags he must have told a hundred times before prove as infectious as ebola. He’s a feelgood comedian in the finest tradition." - Steve Bennett
"Lovdev Barpaga has the kind of effortless and gentle likeability that is completely unique in the comedy world. Entire Crowds seem to fall in love with him from the start and as much for his incredible humour as for his undeniable charm. Often laughing as much as his audience, here's a man in love with his job and it shows. You can't help but laugh along with him, The Ultimate feelgood comic" - LOL Comedy Clubs
