British Comedy Guide, 5th May 2021The Kemps: All True, BBC Two review
pandau Ballet-boys show willing but spoof rock-doc misses the point.
Adam Sweeting, The Arts Desk, 6th July 2020The Kemps: All True review
The show packed in so many offbeat scenes that will lodge in the brain, that The Kemps: All True is surely the stuff of cult longevity. It's comedy Gold.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 6th July 2020TV review - The Kemps: All True
This really was delightfully ridiculous and gloriously funny material, both of the Kemps were on fantastic form and Thomas assembled a superb supporting cast too, all of whom made this exceptional material consistently hilarious.
Alex Finch, Comedy To Watch, 6th July 2020The Kemps: All True, review
The Spandau Ballet bros strike spoof documentary gold.
Anita Singh, The Telegraph, 5th July 2020Dead in a Week (Or Your Money Back) review
Knock-off comedy leaves a bad taste.
Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 14th November 2018Dead in a Week (Or Your Money Back) review
Dead in a Week (Or Your Money Back) may make light of suicide in places, but its ultimately positive outlook saves it from appearing insensitive.
Matt Dennis, Entertainment Focus, 13th November 2018Dead in a Week (Or Your Money Back) review
A suicidal man hires an assassin to finish him off in this funny and surprisingly moving British debut.
Matthew Turner, The List, 12th November 2018Killing their creation off in a Segway accident allows Simon Day and writer-director Rhys Thomas to present "an exclusive, cobbled-together tribute, with whoever we could get hold of at short notice". In practice, the spoof obituary means a greatest-hits feel, as Christopher Eccleston, Jane Asher and the rest take their characters' disdain for Pern up a notch. There follows a compilation of Pern hits, "with some poorly written captions underneath". Sublime.
Jack Seale, The Guardian, 29th March 201710 people you didn't expect to find in Royston Vasey
Given that the 100+ characters in the turn-of-the-century comedy horror The League Of Gentlemen are almost entirely played by three actors, you will probably be surprised to learn about these A-list cameos.
