James Kettle, The Guardian, 8th June 2013Review: Political Animal

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 27th April 2013Bridget Christie set herself the task of making feminism funny (because "last year misogyny, like shiny leggings, made an unexpected comeback"). It's a tough gig. Christie was charming and balanced a fine line between polemicist and standup, but the material felt at times too obvious. Maybe I'm too jaded. Or maybe 11pm on a Thursday is a bizarre slot to sell this in. I just ended up wanting to like the show much more than I had.
