The Wee Review ★★★★

…he infuses the material with a sly wit and and underplayed sharpness, not to mention eloquent writing.

Broadway Baby  ★★★★

He’s a confident commander of the stage, his open face and cheeky grin coaxing you very much onto his side.
The List ★★★★

Goldsmith emanates energy constantly.
He has a deep talent for keeping the audience’s attention the whole time, slipping effortlessly from one routine into another and never losing a beat…He gets huge laughs.
The List

He’s introspective and acutely self-aware, with an intensely friendly stage persona that’s deeply sincere. His material is warm and life-affirming.
An Hour is a showcase of quietly perfect standup.
Edinburgh Festivals Magazine ★★★★★

His laid-back, but in control, style makes it look easy, though there’s a choreography to both his words and deeds. There’s a nice sign-off to his show that would have operated perfectly well without it, given the underplayed high quality of Goldsmith’s various routines…but serves as a cherry on the top of a very satisfying cake.
Chortle ★★★★

Goldsmith is a hugely underrated comic, effortlessly confident and accomplished.
