Excellent stand-up comedian in the classic sense. He has impeccable timing and nothing rattles him. - Viking Cruises  

Sanders has a relaxed and confident style that allows the audience to forget that his jokes are scripted as they flow naturally  with fast-paced delivery and complete relevance. - Glam Adelaide  

It was an hour of solid gags, he hardly used any time filling stuff like talking to the audience, even though he's an expert at that  too. There was no way anyone left disappointed at that show. - Sidney Critic
