Natalie O'Donoghue, Broadway World, 12th July 2016Joe Wells: Edinburgh Fringe 2016 interview
Good political comedy has never gone away of course, but it has had a resurgence in the UK since the Conservative government have come into power, with the likes of Chris Coltrane, Josie Long, Liam Williams and Bridget Christie all creating powerful, thoughtful Edinburgh Fringe shows in the past few years that tackled important issues head on. Joe Wells is another young figure leading the way in this vital niche of the stand-up world, and his subject this year is painfully relevant considering recent events. For Joe's show is called 10 Things I Hate About UKIP, and we're sure he'll mention the result of a certain referendum in there somewhere.
