Charlie's Review by Luke Milford for Giggle Beats:

"Charlie Baker, commanded the stage with ease and
looked comfortable in front of the audience. He knocked
drunken hecklers down left right and centre, while coming
across as a very funny man too. His unique brand of
observational comedy, mixed in with Jazz outbursts, was
entertaining and extremely well received by the crowd “
in a matter of minutes, Baker had the crowd riled up and
ready for the first act of the evening."
