Radio Times review

Is it me or has Jack Whitehall overdone it a bit lately? The plummy comic is everywhere you look - panel games, sitcoms, chat shows (several of each), comedy awards, plus his own show on BBC Three with his dad. He has become inescapable. (Anyone would think he had a book out for Christmas.)

Here, in an edition postponed from December, he kicks off the bombastic stand-up show with a frantic routine about his experience with a cheese strudel on a German airline. It's not in itself hilarious and in lesser hands could fall flat but Whitehall powers it home through sheer, over-caffeinated energy.

Then Canadian comedian Katherine Ryan gets things going with a much better routine: her impression of Beyoncé going to the grocery store is worth seeing.

Katherine Ryan gets Mock The Week death threats

The rounds will be familiar - spinning the news, "Scenes we'd like to see" and so on - but the real laughs come from what are basically stand-up routines broken down into bite-sized chunks and delivered by masters of the art. Jostling for prominence with the regulars this week are Milton Jones, Josh Widdicombe and Katherine Ryan.
