"Smart has many definitions...and Paul Warnes suits them all!" – Tommy Dean (Comedian and Broadcaster)

"As soon as Paul arrives on stage he lights up the room. He has a commanding stage presence, and chances are one day he is going to steal my job... bastard!" – Wil Anderson (Comedian and Broadcaster)

"Brit-born Paul Warne's Hartlepool accent has become as subdued as his suit and tie and this subtle camouflage allows him enough cover to take a careful bead on the audience and deliver cracking shots seemingly out of the urbane blue." – Daily Telegraph 24 Aug 2009

"Even his world-weary north-of-England accent sounds sort of square, calculated to render a person helplessly unprepared for the stampeding horde of scantily clad Tartars he unleashes three seconds into his act.
