REVIEWS:
“Persson’s insights are sharp, his analysis is intelligent and his everyday dilemmas over how to be a good human being come from the heart…it’s clear he’s got it in him to become one of Europe’s top political comedians.”
SUNDAY HERALD

“Thoughtful and silly. He makes some sophisticated parallels alongside some surreal little islands of the bizarre and profane…an easy-going intelligence, and a curiosity which makes him lovely.”
THE SKINNY

”He is a funny guy and great storyteller”
BROADWAY WORLD

”Mastering a language to the extent that you can tell jokes in it is always impressive. Persson speaks English almost like a native with only the slightest of accents and with the full range of swear words sprinkled throughout his set. A pleasantly insightful hour.”
CHORTLE

”Persson delivers strong punchlines and impressive off-the-cuff punning. ”
THE LIST

”A loveable, goofy and bumbling stand-up who excels at spontaneous, random ad-libbing. His routine is sprinkled with witty observations, which he recalls, re-examines and develops into a rich repertoire. With his charming grin, unexpected punch lines and dynamic demeanor, Persson is a natural boy-next-door. A refreshing taste of absurdity, comfortably mastered by the Swedish comic.”
THREE WEEKS

”He is an affable, urbane guy with a bright, distinctive comic voice.”
