A Whole Lifetime With Jamie Demetriou review
There are a few dips as there are in all sketch shows, but the hit rate is incredibly high.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 28th February 2023A Whole Lifetime With Jamie Demetriou review
In many ways, A Whole Lifetime is tonally all over the place, but it's underpinned by a creative weirdness that feels like no one other than Demetriou could possibly have imagined. Plus there's lots of singing.

British Comedy Guide, 11th January 2023TV review: The Witchfinder, BBC Two
I've been looking forward to The Witchfinder ever since it was announced. As comedies go you can't get a better pedigree. It is written by Neil and Rob Gibbons, the brothers who write Alan Partridge, and stars Tim Key - Sidekick Simon from Partridge and a million other shows - and Daisy May Cooper from This Country. And I doff my cap to everyone, it's ruddy brilliant.

Tim Key and Daisy May Cooper are magic.
Lauren O'Neill, i Newspaper, 8th March 2022I believe it's now against the law to review a comedy featuring a modern woman without mentioning Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Fleabag. In the BBC Three pilot Behind the Filter, star (and co-writer with Guardian journalist Harriet Gibsone), Phoebe Walsh deals with the "F-issue" instantly, with her character, Ruby, muttering: "Phoebe Waller-Bridge" in her sleep. Later, Ruby masturbates. Twice! Though not about Waller-Bridge, which would really have been something. Ruby is a directionless, mid-20s, Instagramming, woke-curious hipster casualty in festival-ready tangerine sunglasses, who lives with her parents (Pippa Haywood and Dominic Coleman) and lodger Abdul (Omar Malik). There were some promising moments in this 15-minute taster: not least Ruby's inevitable and pointless podcast Feminism in your Ears. More please.
Barbara Ellen, The Observer, 5th July 2020Review: Behind The Filter, BBC Three
This one-off 15-minute sitcom pilot from comedian Phoebe Walsh was scheduled to launch in early June. No specific reason was given for its delay, but now it has finally emerged on BBC Three it has been well worth the wait.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 30th June 2020Review: Behind The Filter
If you're a young, white, middle-class female comedian making a TV show with a frank scene about sex, you're going to be compared with you-know-who. Especially if your first name happens to be Phoebe.
