Josh Glanc review

It's Friday night, and we're listening to a moustachioed clown with his midriff out, singing songs about loving his nan. No, it's not that guy you met outside Wetherspoons at 1am. It's Aussie comedian and clown, Josh Glanc (to rhyme with dance). And oh boy, will he dance.

Isobel Rogers

Isobel Rogers review

Rogers has both comedic and musical talent, but it would be interesting to see her either fully separate or fully commit to combining the two, creating a show that is more than just a song session.
