Time being the uncompromisingly stubborn one-trick pony that it is, 23rd June will soon be amongst us. A day when the nation will awake, sniff the air, and say to itself: "I love the smell of referendums in the morning."
Andy Zaltzman, WOW247, 3rd June 2016Andy Zaltzman: Satirist for Hire - review
It is hard not to see Satirist for Hire as an experiment: an effort by Zaltzman to stretch himself and see how well he can respond to the unexpected. Yet the material that he has prepared in advance is so clearly superior the experiment can be said to be only a qualified success.

Brian Donaldson, The List, 11th November 2015TV review: Rory Bremner's Election Report, BBC2
The shock result, however, probably meant that he and his writers - who include familiar circuit comics Chris Coltrane and Andy Zaltzman - had to rip up some of their work done in advance and start virtually from scratch. Taking that into account some of this is pretty good.

James Kettle, The Guardian, 1st May 2015Andy Zaltzman interview
If there's one thing that British comedian Andy Zaltzman knows, aside from the breadth of global politics, it's cricket. He's obsessed with the sport, in a manner befitting a true Englishman, and the head beneath that shock of red hair is crammed full of facts and statistics on the subject. In fact, cricket is the entire reason he is doing his first-ever run of shows in Australia.

Andrew P. Street, Brisbane Times, 19th March 2015Review - Andy Zaltzman: Satirist For Hire
You can't say Andy Zaltzman isn't good value. At twenty past ten he asks the guy on the sound desk if he can go into overtime, and at twenty to eleven he finally manages to bring the show to a close.
Jo Beggs, The Public Reviews, 10th November 2014Review: Andy Zaltzman - Satirist For Hire
Despite his obvious flair for such intellectual gymnastics, the hour - or closer to 75 minutes tonight - remains hit-and-miss. That much of the material is for one night only, without the chance of being hones, is both a blessing and a curse.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 24th September 2014Andy Zaltzman, Soho Theatre - comedy review
During Andy Zaltzman's enjoyable new show, Satirist for Hire, the frizzy-haired comic fires back answers to audience questions, while onstage his material shuttles between scripted and improvised.
