Rosemary Kaye, The Edinburgh Reporter, 7th July 2017Heroes of Fringe: Launch Show review
Last night's showcase packed in 20 eclectic acts performing the briefest of samples of their wares (and fans of such a pacy format should be aware of Chortle's own Fast Fringe coming up on the 25th). As Simon Morley, co-creator of Puppetry of the Penis, pointed out: 'I've travelled the world getting my cock out, and I'm the most normal person on the bill', as his practised storytelling seemed a poor fit with the other oddballs.

The Nottingham Post, 15th May 2017Review: Comedy at the Hippodrome, London
The first comedian to play the London Hippodrome was Charlie Chaplin, who was a youngster in extravagant 1900 circus variety show, headlined by Little Tich and featuring on its packed bill a water spectacle on a flooded, sunken stage, a horse act, 21 lions and 'Lavater Lee and his screamingly funny bucking mule'. The last comedian to play the London Hippodrome - now a casino but with a classy cabaret venue within - was Glenn Wool, who had to work his Canadian socks off to get a reaction from a largely sluggish crowd last night. How times have changed.
