"In an age where clowns reveal our hidden self, Clint Bolster's clown is both sharp and insightful, yet aware of the provocations designed to unlock insights. His clown/s invite us to unite as we focus on the particular, the unusual, and the rare. A great performer, teacher and human, Clint brings all of himself and leaves us with a unique insight about ourselves after seeing the world through the tears and the fears of a clown, which always provokes laughter from places rarely observed in our daily life. BOOFF, like Clint's other clowns, is a masterwork that will leave you feeling uncomfortably settled. In a world of clowns where leadership is no barrier to success, it is good to see the clown within ourselves and invite them into our midst so that we may learn their masterfully mischievous mannerisms. (PS: Clowns learn by observing us.)."

"If you don't have children, find some and take them or simply take yourself – you'll love it!"– Broadway Baby, Edinburgh, "… the audience, children and parents alike, are in constant fits of laughter. At the end of the show, I heard one child ask, 'Can we watch it again?'"

"BOOFF is an absolute dream to work with. Watching BOOFF entertain the full house last night made me (the producer) very proud. Every audience member I spoke to after the show told me how much they enjoyed his bell routine. BOOFF can read a crowd and make them feel better when he's done with them. I guess the standing ovation speaks for itself...." 
Tom Olive- Producer The Dionysus Cabaret (AUS)

"As I write my reflection, I am sipping upon a gifted tea as I left the parlour; "A Ceremonial Sample of Finest Loose Leaf tea." And so I am left with an impression of consummate finesse. Every detail is complete, and every element is perfectly manifest. HIGH TEA with BOOFF should be the most coveted invitation of any budding socialites dance card."
