“he not only had good gags, he had the balls to take on heckler man and actually shut him up like a complete pro, earning a phenomenal round of applause from the audience and lifting the mood. His dark, cool brand of comedy should get him booked steadily and soon, if he’s got plenty more where that came from.” Chortle
“he had the audience in stitches…Burtscher's delivery was dry and just the right side of cynical.” Spoonfed.co.uk
