Standard Issue, 8th August 2016Review: English Comedian of the Year, Udderbelly
The second comedy competition in two nights, following Old Comedian of the Year, was another mix of very familiar and less familiar names, with only one act cropping up twice. If nothing else this shows that there are lots of talented stand-ups around. And a lot that want to win competitions.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 5th July 2016English Comedian Of The Year 2016

Martin Walker, Broadway Baby, 22nd June 2014Comedy spotlight: Rachel Fairburn
It's a good job that Rachel Fairburn is very funny, because she'd make one heck of a murderer. Her obsession with those darker souls among us may not come across upon first impression, but don't judge a book by its cover. Instead judge her by the colouring book she lovingly created. The one on serial killers.
