Audio - Rory Bremner: Living with ADHD is 'hell'

Comedian Rory Bremner says constantly punishing children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) harms their development and strips away "self-belief".

Bremner diagnosed himself with the condition after noticing that the symptoms displayed by a family member with ADHD were similar to those he experienced as a child.

He told 5 Live's Afternoon Edition the condition was "desperately difficult to live with" as it made concentrating and sitting still "impossible".

Review: Jimeoin

Jimeoin's physical comedy and razor wit is a recipe for belly laughs.

Jody Kamali interview

I love where the circuit is at the moment. There's a lot of exciting and unusual nights out there.

Scot Squad preview

Improvised TV comedy Scot Squad has a mix of trained and untrained actors mining a fertile seam of funny.

Daniel Sloss review

Daniel Sloss delivers his routines with an infectious verve, allied to a thoroughly professional sheen which should be utterly alien to a 24-year-old in any line of work.

Interview: James Acaster

Acaster's now taking his latest shot Recognise - where James admits that he is actually an undercover cop who has infiltrated the comedy world - to the Soho Theatre for a run that is well on its way to selling out. Be quick and get your ticket now.

Jimeoin - Yes, Yes, Whatever ...?! - The Lowry, Salford

I've seen Jimeoin a couple of times on TV in the past but never live. Next time I see his show advertised I will be first in line for tickets. Observational comedy at its very best. I'd be raising an eyebrow if anyone failed to laugh out loud all the way through.

Pete Johansson: Several Jokes - The Lowry, Salford

For such an adventurous comedian there is a surprising amount of conventional material.

Marcel Lucont review

Overall his set is impeccably well constructed and intelligently delivered, giving justification for his recent flood of acclaimed awards. A smooth and delicious French martini of a poet, comedian and philosopher...

Shappi Khorsandi interview

Although she talks about her children, from 'kids do the funniest things' type stories to deeper concerns about her parenting, it's her father - the exiled Iranian satirist Hadi Khorsandi - who's the biggest character in the show.

Has Russell Brand really destroyed the lefty weft?

Nope - he's merely the bastard child of the left's own self-induced decay.

Seann Walsh review

Seann Walsh doesn't need to pen a stand-up routine - he could comfortably spend the night back-and-forthing with audience members who nip out to the toilet.
