British Comedy Guide, 19th October 2015Andy Parsons interview
Over the last decade, former Churston Ferrers Grammar School pupil Andy Parsons has built up a huge following as one of the regulars on BBC2's topical news quiz Mock The Week. Now, however, Andy is returning to his first love -- stand-up comedy.
The Torquay Herald, 17th October 2015Radio Times review
When this show first aired ten years ago - back when Twitter didn't exist, David Cameron was Shadow Education Secretary and Andy Murray was outside the world's top 400 - it didn't look like much. Yet another panel show, and an unprepossessing mix of Have I Got News for You and Whose Line Is It Anyway? to boot - surely it wouldn't go on to be one of TV comedy's most reliable ratings bankers?
Well, it did - and now it's back for a triumphant 14th series, with Dara O Briain still in charge and a roster of strong comics, old and new: Katherine Ryan, James Acaster, Matt Forde and Josh Widdicombe join hoary regulars Hugh Dennis and Andy Parsons.

Jemma Page, Nottingham Post, 19th March 2015Review: Andy Parsons - Live and Unleashed
Having only seen Andy Parsons on BBC's Mock The Week before, I didn't know what to expect of his comedy, bar his distinctive accent.
And I must admit it took me (and the audience) a little while to warm up to his comic style.
Samantha Robinson, Huddersfield Daily Examiner, 5th March 2015Interview: Andy Parsons
His new stand-up act, Live and Unleashed - but Naturally Cautious, will focus mainly on his own deficiencies, he tells me.
The Western Gazette, 1st March 2015Review: Andy Parsons
Caution, argues Andy Parsons, inhibits the British public from making the type of changes needed to ensure a more just society. This isn't the type of thing one expects in stand up but then this is not a conventional show. Parsons makes clear, however, that his object is to get the audience to laugh rather than to murmur thoughtfully.
