Campbell can create that blissful rising hysteria in which virtually anything can seem side-splittingly funny (Time Out)
Like any true artist his genius is in his ability to latch on to a subject and then make you see it in a completely new light
(What`s On)
The funniest solo act in British theatre (Daily Express)

Ken Campbell’s solo theatre shows, all performed at the Royal National Theatre’ include: THE RECOLLECTIONS OF A FURTIVE NUDIST, PIGSPURT, JAMAIS VU, VIOLIN TIME (or the lady from Montsegur) , THEATRE STORIES, WOL WANTOK/ PIDGIN MACBETH and most recently THE HISTORY OF COMEDY part one: ventriloquism. Ken Campbell has presented three science series for Channel Four Television: REALLITY ON THE ROCKS (a companion piece to MYSTERY BRUISES at the Almeida Theatre) , BRAINSPOTTING and most recently SIX EXPERIMENTS THAT CHANGED THE WORLD.
