The List, 24th February 2014Comedy Festival Review: Chris Ramsey
Could he be the most dangerous man on Saturday morning TV? Of course not - the show's title is totally ironic and its content, so finely tuned and feverously delivered, I'd be a plum to give it away.
Gemma Collins, Leicester Mercury, 22nd February 2014Chris Ramsey - review
Chris Ramsey's boisterous storytelling establishes a strong rapport with his audience - but his material too often lacks insight.

Gemma Collins, Leicester Mercury, 30th January 2014Radio Times review
Bustling Denise is off to a training weekend, leaving husband Joe and granny Dot home alone. The pair are under strict instructions not to set foot in the sanctified "Good Room" but, of course, the temptation proves overwhelming. Soon the pair are enjoying the delights of this forbidden place, but the arrival of Dot's persistent and embarrassingly inappropriate suitor Arthur (played by the wonderful John Woodvine) brings only destruction. As for expectant parents Jack and Sarah (Chris Ramsey and Kimberley Nixon), they are suffering the petty humiliations of an antenatal class.
Hebburn and its ramshackle cast of cheerful Geordies are sweet and have a certain charm. But the humour is so low-key it's barely audible.
Alison Graham, Radio Times, 26th November 2013Chris Ramsey interview
The stand-up and Hebburn actor talks failed one-liners, being thrown off TV and his tidying fetish.
Adam Jacques, The Independent, 24th November 2013Jason Cook's Geordie sitcom has warmth and personality in spades, but also a certain inconsequentiality to ensure that, while it's never a chore to watch, you couldn't call it essential either.
Tonight's episode is a case in point, as Dot moves into the family home and attracts an admirer (hardy smallscreen perennial John Woodvine), Jack (Chris Ramsey) hires an unlikely genius to paint the nursery and Pauline (Gina McKee) struggles to reconcile her ethics with the business of selling houses. The chuckles are gentle and the peril very minor indeed: nothing much happens, but it happens very pleasantly.
