"As a huge Freddie Mercury fan, I'm always nervous about whether an impersonator will do him justice, and I'm so happy to report that Jim was PHENOMENAL! His voice impressively evokes Freddie's, and his range and endurance are top tier. This is a super fun experience, that will get you on your feet dancing. Definitely worth the ticket and a really fun and uplifting way to end your Fringe!"

"Absolutely loved it! I've just come out of The Freddie Story – A Live Theatre Concert and I'm still blown away! Jim Smart is an incredible artist. His voice, energy and stage presence are absolutely spectacular. You can feel the passion and emotion in every moment, and he brings Freddie's spirit and music to life in such a beautiful way. It was emotional, powerful, fun and unforgettable. If you love Freddie Mercury and Queen, you absolutely have to see this show! One of my favourite Fringe experiences. Highly, highly recommended!"

"Show was AMAZING! He deserves to perform for thousands. Incredible voice and performance. We rocked out."

"A hidden gem of the Fringe. Jim Smart — Scotland's longest running solo Freddie Mercury performer — brings to life the dynamism and character of this most iconic of frontmen in a non-stop, intense performance with costume changes, cinematic visuals and live vocals of the finest kind. Queen fans were on their feet, turning the intimate Forest Theatre into a stadium experience, capturing a tiny bit of the excitement of Live Aid 1985."

"It's difficult to pull off Freddie Mercury's vocals, but this singer does a fantastic job, interspersed with video to tell the story. An accomplished show that generates an energy which oozes out into the auditorium — fun for fans of Queen and Freddie Mercury."

"I've seen Jim Smart perform as Freddie Mercury before and, as usual, I was not disappointed! A fabulous vocal and an amazing performance that had everyone on their feet."
