Patrick Sproull, Cult Box, 7th November 2018Vulcan 7 review
There are some brilliantly imaginative elements to the touring production of Vulcan 7 at the King's. Unfortunately, none of them are in Adrian Edmondson and Nigel Planer's script.
All Edinburgh Theatre, 7th November 2018Opinion: Is stand-up the hardest art form to review?
A couple of weeks ago I reviewed a show by a visiting American superstar. I enjoyed the show and filed my review. It was only after going to press that I received an email basically saying that - I'm paraphrasing here - the comic in question owned the copyright on what was said onstage and I was not allowed to quote any lines.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 7th November 2018Bridget Christie - What Now? review
Domestic dramas meet political crises in hilarious show.
Alice Jones, i Newspaper, 7th November 2018Lauren Pattison review
Pattison's two full-length shows have both been impressive calling cards, confirming that she is a talent to watch. Peachy is well worth seeing, but her next outing could be the one that really puts her on the map.
Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard, 7th November 2018Vulcan 7 review
Vulcan 7 is funny at the right moments, boasting some great one-liners and witty comments, as well as comedic situations. It benefits from excellent actors. However, the storyline was a bit lacking.
Isa Reneman, Young Perspective, 7th November 2018Theatre review: Brexit
Although there are decent laugh-out-loud jokes which please both sides, it's all a bit Radio 4 Friday night comedy podcast. It misses the glorious balancing act of Yes Minister or -- despite Paul Connell's convincing turn as the PM's despairing political advisor -- the energising filthy invective of Malcolm Tucker from The Thick Of It. Still, unlike Brexit itself, it's all over in 75 minutes.
Johnny Fox, Londonist, 7th November 2018Sally4Ever: watch funny cringe comedy at your own risk
Created by British comedian Julia Davis, new series delivers some big laughs and whole lot of squirm-inducing moments.
Alan Sepinwall, Rolling Stone, 7th November 2018Lauren Pattison review
In her new show, Peachy, Pattison perkily traces her efforts to be young, free and single while coping with mental fragility.
