"I'm pretty good at it, hope you're okay!" Jamie Demetriou said in a statement. BBC Studios Comedy Director Josh Cole said: “Jamie is an exceptional creator and performer. It's a testament to his talent that in just one hour he takes us on an excruciating, hilarious and brilliantly observed journey through modern life." Jonny Sweet and Simon Bird of Guilty Party Pictures added: "It was a privilege to watch Jamie stitch together these disparate, disastrous, and often relatively thick characters into one beautiful life as he sees it. It's as original, daring and hilarious as we expect (to be fair) from the comedic voice of his generation."
