Pete Firman

EDINBURGH 2008
Edinburgh 2008 was awesome. The show was selling out and the reviewers said some lovely things...
***** “He is the funniest and by far the most accomplished performer on the New Magic scene...funnier than most comedians and more magical than Dumbledore on a good day. This guy is a complete star.” - Time Out
**** “He's such a pro at the business of show that you'll be aching for much more. See him here before the inevitable move to a bigger venue.” - Metro
**** “With the giddy fakir style trickery skills of Tommy Cooper and the flirtatious warmth of Eric Morecambe, he's a northern crowd-pleasing wonder.” - The List
**** “...one of the best comedy shows you'll see this Fringe.” - Fest
**** “...he uses his unique and endearing combination of natural charm and real comedic talent to win the audience over. And just like that, the gap that late great Tommy Cooper left in our lives has been well and truly filled. ” - Three Weeks
**** - Chortle

If you look really, really hard you might see me performing at a Comedy Club near you.
In August 2007 I performed at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in my debut solo show, 'Hokum'.
Some nice people said these things about it.

**** “one of the sweetest, most engaging performers on any Fringe stage…Firman is a delight” - The Independent
**** “A rollicking hour without a dull moment” - Chortle
**** “A debut solo Fringe show that will enhance an already impressive reputation” - The Herald
**** “A gob-smackingly talented magician” - Metro
***** - Forth FM
**** - Fest

If you have a couple of minutes spare and give a damn, check me out out doing this crazy shit from YouTube. This is me on the revival of Saturday Live on ITV1.
This one is from 'Dirty Tricks', which was on Channel 4. I blend up a fricken mouse. Crackers!
Old School Firmski! This is me doing the world's biggest card trick.
