Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 20th February 2020Leicester Comedy Festival interview: Samantha Pressdee
Her show is directed by Phil Nichol and did really well at the Edinburgh Fringe last year. Covered is a raucous and slightly dirty show tackling mental health provision on the NHS and austerity cuts. I caught up with Samantha to find out all about it.
Phoenix Remix, 4th February 2020Review: Tony Law & Phil Nichol
This definitely isn't the comedians at their best. As enjoyable for them as it might be to improvise all the time, they do work best when it's a mixture of scripted and riffing, and frustratingly there's just way too much of the latter and not enough of the former here.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 4th August 2019Edinburgh preview: Returning Champions
It's hard to stay away from Edinburgh whether you are new to the comedy game or an old hand. This year there are a number of brilliant comedians coming back who have won the Edinburgh Comedy Award, best known as the Perrier but now sponsored by digital channel Dave. You can only win the top award once and there are certainly easier ways to make money, so why come back? It must be for the sheer fun and the incredible buzz of the Fringe.
