Likeable Geordie with
dark humour and big punchlines.
'Pick of the week… beautifully written jokes'
THE GUARDIAN
'Genuinely funny'
THE SCOTSMAN
Audiences instinctively warm
to Ward’s naturally friendly demeanour and likeable and effusive manner.
Guaranteed to be well-received, especially as his material is so universal – a reliably funny addition to any bill ”
CHORTLE
Enjoyable and entertaining
Malcolm Hay, TIME OUT
He's been one of my favourite stand-ups for about ten years. Bloom not only has meticulous, brilliant lines, but also an intense and fragile honesty.
RICKY GERVAIS
He makes me laugh out-loud, I can’t wait to see him live.
SIR IAN McKELLEN
A light-speed wit, focussed over
years at the pinnacle of stand-up.
STEVE BENNET, CHORTLE
The best comedy radio show of the past ten years.
GQ MAGAZINE
His mission is to convince you that he is the greatest comic ever, and he makes a surprisingly good case”
