Edinburgh preview: Matt Forde

Satirist Matt Forde has a problem. Just as he mastered his Ed Miliband impression Ed went and got wiped out at the election. Forde now has to master either Andy Burnham, Jeremy Corbyn or put on a skirt.

Radio Times review

When this show first aired ten years ago - back when Twitter didn't exist, David Cameron was Shadow Education Secretary and Andy Murray was outside the world's top 400 - it didn't look like much. Yet another panel show, and an unprepossessing mix of Have I Got News for You and Whose Line Is It Anyway? to boot - surely it wouldn't go on to be one of TV comedy's most reliable ratings bankers?

Well, it did - and now it's back for a triumphant 14th series, with Dara O Briain still in charge and a roster of strong comics, old and new: Katherine Ryan, James Acaster, Matt Forde and Josh Widdicombe join hoary regulars Hugh Dennis and Andy Parsons.

Review: Matt Forde, Soho Theatre

In General Election year it is more important than ever to have comedians engaging with politics. There are plenty who drop a soupcon of satire into their shows, but not many who deliver an hour of solid humour about the people who either are governing the country or want to govern the country. This is precisely what Forde delivers.

With a general election set to dominate the news agenda, 2015 should be an adventure playground for political comedians. Sadly, The Revolution Will Be Televised are too busy congratulating themselves for firing Lewinsky innuendos at Bill Clinton, so here's Bremner's rusty but reliable sceptre of satire to prick the politicos' pomposity. Joined by John Bird, Matt Forde, Sara Pascoe and Jan Ravens, it seems reasonable to expect something a little more incisive than stock fat gags about Eric Pickles.
