GREEN ROOM AWARD NOMINEE BEST CABARET ARTISTE 2006

"All are very strong, but it's McLeish's show, and he's wonderful. His Keating has charm, energy and intellectual restlessness along with easy elegance in the singing and dancing...shiny razzle dazzle, playing educating rationalist to all available galleries."
SYDNEY MORNING HERALD

"In a sinuous and, yes, sexy performance Mike McLeish reveals some of Keating's vanities but more of his appeal, and the treatment is entirely affectionate."
THE AUSTRALIAN

"McLeish has charisma to burn in this fearless and winning performance."
THE AGE

"Commands the stage as a slick Placdio Flamingo of comic frontmen"
