	Boothby Graffoe
		Boothby has quickly become very popular among Australians this year (2000) as this is the year he came to Australia and appeared on a number of TV shows.
		Boothby's comedy festival show was just titled his name, but that was not all he did at the 2000 Melbourne Comedy Festival.
		Probably the only comedian in the world to be named after a market town in Lincolnshire, Boothby Graffoe has long since recognised by punters and fellow performers alike as one of the most original, inventive and entertaining acts on the British comedy circuit.

	Reviews from the 2005 Edinburgh Fringe (12)
		Boothby Graffoe, the comedian named after a town in Lincolnshire, is one of those people who seem to be a fixture at the Edinburgh Fringe; even though there must have been a Fringe before Boothby, it's difficult to imagine it without him now.
		This is a cause that Boothby has been supporting for a while, but he does not push it down the audience's throat during the show - in fact he admitted forgetting to mention it the night before.
		Boothby is funny as ever, with some good new material and some very funny new songs and a few more insights into non-feline areas of his personal domestic life than in the past - if any of it is true.

	Boothby Graffoe review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		A little known comedian, Boothby has musical talents aswell, as you can see by the guitar he's holding (thats right, its not just for decoration), he has done a few tours but has not yet released any video or DVD shows which is probably why he isn't that well known yet.
		It is a shame because he is actually a very talented comedian combining his musical talents with clever lyrics to create some funny songs.
		I think he is a very talented comedian with a lot of untapped potential for TV stand up shows, if he can get a long show for himself then I'm sure he'd become a huge success.

	The Stage / Edinburgh / Reviews / Boothby Graffoe and Antonio Forcione - Wot Italian? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Lanky comic absurdist Graffoe is a festival legend in his own right but his shows with the mostly monosyllabic but quietly charismatic Forcione inspire the kind of fervent fan admiration not often witnessed outside of a religious cult.
		Although the songs are such an infectiously silly joy, and Graffoe such a consummately funny master of ceremonies, that even first timers would be hard pushed not to get swept up in all the fun.
		The main joke, that as he struggles to keep up with Forcione, Graffoe, while more than capable of holding his own, is by far the inferior musician, may be starting to pall.

		Boothby Graffoe, the only comedian named after a Lincolnshire village, is a Fringe comedy institution.
		But Boothby appears under-rehearsed, and where he sometimes used to come across as endearingly scatterbrained, his wandering Pythoneseque conversations with himself now seem to be covering a lack of preparation.
		You are left hoping that Boothby finishes the development of the newer material and gets back to his old heights.

	Kings Of Comedy
		Boothby had requested the prophylactics in the afternoon, and when asked the innocent query, "Are three enough?" it was enough for the singer/songwriter/comedian/playwright to keep a straight face.
		Indeed, he offered a half-hearted explanation of his strange application by suggesting it was simply a "jape", before dryly pointing out pint-sized Irishman Andrew Maxwell would not be able to take one, let along all three.
		But the real reason for Boothby's fascination by all things latex became clear once last night's show was over.

		Boothby Graffoe, not the village in Lincolnshire, but the comedian cum guitar playing silly song singing maestro has for ever it seem been a Fringe favourite and again I won the domestic battle to review this comic genius at Fringe 2006.
		As last year he is augmented by Nick Pynn on predominantly violin, but also guitar an occasional straight man to Boothby's fool, and I mean that with no offence intended.
		This is the usual mix of his crazy stories and self-penned comic ditties, but inspite of having his new toy, a guitar synthesizer to play with, there were slightly less songs than normal.
