British Comedy Guide, 13th June 2017The Last Leg review
For a comedy show, The Last Leg does get its fair share of high profile political guests.
Ian Wolf, On The Box, 7th April 2017Was this year's Red Nose Day Show a disaster?
What was interesting here was the disconnect between Edinburgh Fringe favourites and a mainstream BBC audience. What the former crowd adores the latter abhores.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 25th March 2017TV review: Gap Year, E4, Episode 2
Plenty of fast-paced action, some snappy dialogue and breath-taking aerial shots of tea plantations that make you go wow. Nice wok everyone.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 2nd March 2017Gap Year review - silly and puerile, but in a good way
This new comedy perfectly captures the backpacker obsession with bowel movements and the search for 'authenticity'.
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian, 24th February 2017No sooner has The Big Fat Quiz Of The Year conga'd by, than a new series returns with more questions pertaining to the past 100,000 years of human history. Jonathan Ross, David Walliams, Katherine Ryan, Aisling Bea, Noel Fielding and Richard Ayoade will once again be answering headscratchers posed by Jimmy Carr, such as why do tennis players wear white?

Eloise Craven-Todd, On The Box, 23rd December 2016The 50 funniest films... chosen by comedians
For Sarah Millican it's the Coen brothers, while Stewart Lee laughs out loud at Festen. From the canonical to the controversial, and in no particular order, we asked 10 standups to pick 50 movies that make them giggle...
The Observer, 18th December 2016The lowbrow HIGNFY has a new guise these days. Rejuvenated teams seem to be at the root of this - goodnight Sean Lock, who remains on the Countdown version of the show - but with Jimmy Carr remaining, unsympathetically as ever, in charge. Rob Beckett and Aisling Bea now captain the teams as the panel roam ineptly among the week's most popular news items. Tonight's guests are Thomas Turgoose and First Dates maître d' Fred Sirieix.
