Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 17th February 2022This Is Going To Hurt review

Christopher Stevens, Daily Mail, 28th January 2022Mandy review
These 15-minute episodes are like extended sketches, a comedy form that is almost never seen now. Morgan, who writes and directs the show as well as being its central character, has done a splendid job of repairing and restoring the format.
