Rhys James: Forgives and Adam Hess: Feathers

It is interesting to consider the effect of social media presence on the stand up style of these two performers. Both shows are well-formed, with space for spur-of-the-moment audience interaction and callbacks where each comic rebounded off the enthusiasm the audience were already reflecting back.

Latitude: reflections on a weekend of comedy

Latitude has often used the tag-line 'more than just a music festival' and with an extensive arts line-up that's certainly true. The Suffolk festival has also grown into one of the largest comedy programmes on the circuit. The tents may now have been dismantled, but Fergus Morgan reflects back on a weekend's mirth in the festival's purple comedy arena.

The 15th series of the panel show perennial continues. With the hardcore crew reduced to just Dara O Briain and team captain Hugh Dennis, the combative atmosphere of previous seasons has receded even further. If the flurry of punchlines used to feel like comedic mixed martial arts, now there is more of a swingball vibe. Rob Beckett, Gary Delaney, Ed Gamble, Zoe Lyons and Rhys James are the guests putting topical events through the wringer in search of zingers.
