We Are Most Amused - review
The best is saved for last, in the form of a new Blackadder sketch that casts Rowan Atkinson as chief executive of Melchett, Melchett and Darling bank.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 29th November 2012Ross Noble: wake up call
Famed for his inspired nonsense, Ross Noble is now switching to 'real things'. The comic tells Brian Logan why.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 12th November 2012Josie Long - review
One problem is that her overgrown-child persona cramps the political material.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 8th November 2012Seann Walsh - review

Brian Logan, The Guardian, 7th November 2012Seann Walsh - review
The larger problem isn't that Walsh appears boorish, it's that he doesn't appear at all. By the end, I felt I knew nothing about him, save that he's a precocious master of the stand-up's art.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 7th November 2012The best comedy shows for Christmas 2012
Richard Thomas teams up with The Divine David, a taped-up clown brings the physical comedy, and Robin Ince resumes his annual bash for unbelievers.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 4th November 2012The Horne Section - review
It is under-rehearsed to the occasional point of collapse, but undertaken with charm and an open-minded curiosity as to the types of fun available when a comedian and some musicians convene. Horne may be no Sinatra, but the show goes with a real swing.

Kane should have more faith in his ideas.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 29th October 2012John Bishop - review
With this arena-touring show, he's grown into the caricature
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 25th October 2012Richard Herring - review
The show is a rallying call, then, for realism and honesty about the male member - and a great platform for Richard Herring's brand of pedant humour.
