Shappi Khorsandi review

Review of The Comedy About A Bank Robbery

Their originality, inventiveness and sense of good, old-fashioned fun will, I believe, see them leading the comedy train for a very long time.

All Round to Mrs Brown's review

A mix of crassness and old-fashioned sweetness.

Christie is preaching to the choir in left-leaning Brighton, with a couple of occasions of spontaneous applause giving the show the feel of a political hustings gathering rather than a comedy performance.

Review: Frankie Boyle's New World Order

For an entertainment show Frankie Boyle's New World Order certainly takes things pretty seriously and a lot is crammed into thirty minutes. It's a shame it is Boyle on his best behaviour, but I'd rather have Boyle on his best behaviour than no Boyle at all.
