Review: Old Comedian Of The Year 2017

Of all the stand-up competitions around - and there are many - Leicester Square Theatre's Old Comedian Of The Year has a point of difference. Not so much the age cut-off - only over-35s need apply, which still leaves a pretty wide field - but the fact that entrants must have been going for at least five years... demanding the comedians have achieved a certain level of experience, without a level of recognition.

Tired of the same old political parties? Having second thoughts about your membership of the Greens?

Dave and Charlie fight the Battle Of Britain

For Fringe 2011, Dave Gibson and Charlie Talbot present a thorough investigation into the cultural, social and economic differences that occur across the British Isles today. Well, they have a big barney about which is better, Dave's North or Charlie's South. To give you a flavour, we asked the guys to present their respective cases for regional superiority, offering some topics around which to structure their debate.

The Spotlight on ... Ray Green

He overcame a falling out with the mighty Jimmy Tarbuck to have a 'glittering' career as a TV presenter, and his move into stand-up comedy has begun strongly with one of the most entertaining debut shows at last year's Edinburgh - it's Ray Green, aka stand-up/character comic Dave Gibson.
