Reviewed by:  Paul Simei-Barton (New Zealand Herald);

After sell-out seasons of THE BEST MEDICINE across Australia in 2011, the great Stephen K Amos returns with his new show ‘LAUGHTER IS MY AGENDA'. Full of his life observations and hilarious stories, this show will be bursting with Stephen's special brand of melt-in-the-middle comedy.

Amos has charmed and entertained audiences all over the world with his easy, relaxed style, intelligent wit and honest warm-hearted joie de vivre.  The last few years have seen Stephen steadily become a household name performing all over Australia and appearing on Thank God You're Here, Spicks & Specks, The Melbourne Comedy Festival Gala, Great Debate and Good News Week.

In the UK he has recently starred in a number of popular TV shows including Have I Got News For You' (BBC One), The Royal Variety Performance(ITV) and Celebrity Masterchef (BBC2). A gifted actor, Amos starred in the 2010 Edinburgh Festival and London West End seasons of ‘One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest' alongside Christian Slater.

Stephen K Amos really is as good as everyone says.

“Proof that laughter really is the best medicine.” ****Three Weeks August 2010

“Amos is a hugely skilled performer, genial and always in control... clever and outrageously extravagant.” The Scotsman 23 August 2010

As part of the NZ International Comedy Festival 2012
