A comedian walks into a coronavirus crisis...

Stephen Armstrong, The Sunday Times, 22nd March 2020Always June review
Pepperdine is the stand-out turn, with June likely to be just sort of eccentric but identifiable creation you could hang a decent sitcom on.

Explicable Me
Hosted by Suzi Ruffell, assisted by Ahir Shah, Explicable Me is a comedy entertainment show built around personality tests. We all love those Buzzfeed and Cosmopolitan tests that discover what pizza topping we are, what percentage Kardashian we are and if our sex life were a movie what movie would it be. With Tom Allen and AJ Odudu.
