Ciarán Dowd, Soho Theatre review
Award-winning show ia great fun.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 15th October 2018Stewart Francis review
His quickfire delivery will have you giggling as you try and work out some of the often silly, often clever sentences he has planted for you to giggle at. It is an unusual comedy style in the mainstream post-2000. And makes Stewart stand out even more for it.
Leigh Sanders, The Express and Star, 15th October 2018Neil Innes review
The endearingly daft ex-Bonzo and extended Python member entertained a very responsive audience with a career-spanning show that demonstrated his musical dexterity and skilful wordplay.
Steve Clements, The Latest, 15th October 2018Why you need to see... Fern Brady
Brady is frank and open about her experiences in dealing with mental health, whilst mock-curtsying because it's Bi Visibility Day, and she is being both bi and visible at the same time. But she never batters you over the head with such topics. You get the sense if she wanted to hurt you, you'd already be dead.
Nooruddean Choudry, JOE, 15th October 2018Fans refunded after Comedy Central Live complaints
The people behind the three-day joke fest are handing out refunds after fans took to social media to complain about the way the event was organised.
Southern Daily Echo, 15th October 2018There She Goes: the brutal new comedy busting myths
This outrageously funny BBC Four show about raising a child with learning difficulties shines a light on the desolation often felt in early motherhood.
Rachel Aroesti, The Guardian, 15th October 2018The Lost Disc review - tall tale of a great Glastonbury
Will Adamsdale shapeshifts to play a crooner, a troubadour and a country singer in an ambitious mockumentary show.
The Guardian, 15th October 2018Rob Kemp: The Elvis Dead - The Lowry, Salford - Review
The Elvis Dead is the best horror/ comedy/ music tribute since The Rocky Horror Show; although it is doubtful whether it will be able to achieve the same level of success while retaining its ramshackle charm.
Dave Cunningham, The Reviews Hub, 15th October 2018For Facts Sake: like a concussed QI
Look out, Brendan O'Carroll has a new role as a quiz-show host.
Stuart Heritage, i Newspaper, 15th October 2018Jen Brister review
It was lean, angry, and straight-up entertaining, with the diamond always shining through the rough.
Daniel McKeon, Comedy To Watch, 15th October 2018Comedy review: The Lost Disc
The 2004 Perrier award-winner Will Adamsdale's latest mixture of comedy and theatre plays like an unwisely expanded sketch.
Dominic Maxwell, The Times, 15th October 2018Review: Johnny English Strikes Again
The film starts at great pace, mercifully, with English knee deep in his slap-stick assignment within 15 minutes. Yet this regrettably doesn't last, as the movie quickly starts to feel like it's outstaying its welcome by quite some margin.
Harry Peate, The Mancunion, 15th October 2018Gary Delaney on people getting offended by jokes
Gary said social media has fuelled a "trend of offence" and is one of a growing number of laugh-makers to complain that political correctness has gone too far.
William Telford, Plymouth Herald, 15th October 2018My British Invasion + Bishop And Douch
My last show of my week-long (or so) invasion of the UK is November 9 and is a dual show with boy geniuses Bishop and Douch, who are so British a lot of times I have no idea what they are saying.
