SOME PRESS QUOTES ABOUT NICK TOCZEK

On his performance poetry:

“The most exciting and visual performer we have this side of Benjamin Zephaniah” – NME.

“The greatest success was without doubt ‘Mr Dynamite’, the Englishman Nick Toczek whose performance of all-round writings exploded like a firework.” – German daily Neue Presse (reviewing an appearance at Frankfurt Bookfair) 

On his stand-up comedy:

“See him if you can.  He’s brilliant.” – The Stage.

On his children’s poetry books:

“A combination of straight-hitting humour and verbal dexterity.  It is the well-honed work of a performance poet – crackling with rhythms, raps, rhymes and repetitions that beg to be read aloud and savoured for sound as well as amusing storylines.” - The Times Educational Supplement.
