Jay Richardson, i Newspaper, 3rd April 2018Hailmakers review
Chinese Burn might be this year's BBC Three 'Comedy Slice' that's got the most press attention, given its focus on an under-represented ethnic group, but Hailmakers is the funniest.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 4th December 2017BBC Three to show new sitcom Hailmakers
BBC Three is to show a new sitcom called Hailmakers. The comedy, starring Samson Kayo and Akemnji Ndifornyen, is about two entrepreneurs.
British Comedy Guide, 26th July 2017Comic Dane Baptiste writes and stars in this new offering from the online channel, which kicks off tomorrow. In it, he plays a late-twentysomething office worker - also called Dane - who lives at home with his fed-up parents and is in constant competition with his twin sister. But when fictive Dane makes a rum-fuelled announcement at a family party, he might finally have to take some responsibility for his future. Part of the BBC's Black And British season, this is a new sitcom with plenty of 90s and 00s R&B on the soundtrack and a strong cast: alongside Baptiste, Akemnji Ndifornyen steals the show in episode one as arrogant Christian.
