Mitch Benn review
Shouty and indignant in tone, most of the political discourse get nods of approval from the gathering. However, the real fun lies in his less worthy commentary.
Simon Topping, The Reviews Hub, 23rd May 2019Review: Jody Kamali is Mike Daly
Anyone who enjoys Reeves & Mortimer or anything of the output of Toast Of London writer and performer Matt Berry will revel in Mike Daly: Darts and All, it is a delightfully absurd comedy classic.
Simon Topping, The Reviews Hub, 7th May 2019Review: Birds
You'd be pushed to find two more likeable performers on the sketch comedy circuit than the members of Birds; Amy Spinks and Kate Novak tread the line of confidence and charm so incredibly well that they very quickly have their audience eating out of the palm of their hands.
Simon Topping, The Reviews Hub, 7th May 2019Review: Paul Mayhew-Archer
Mayhew-Archer feels that society treat serious illness too seriously. If anyone can and must be able to find the darkly funny side of illness it is those that have to endure it. Mayhew-Archer is a fine exponent of this humour and provides a wonderful sixty minutes of fun and laughter, well worth a watch.
Simon Topping, The Reviews Hub, 7th May 2019Review: The Holy Vible Book Tour
The previously uninitiated leave the auditorium, non the wiser as to what vibe really is, but thankful to our two genial guides who curated a very funny evening.
Simon Topping, The Reviews Hub, 28th November 2018Review - Simon Evans: Genius
This is a stand-up show that unashamedly celebrates intellegence should be rejoiced for it.
Simon Topping, The Reviews Hub, 28th November 2018Laura Lexx - Trying: Komedia, Brighton review
Trying is a destigmatising emotional journey, interspersed with the recapturing of a particular moment in time; the essence of one family holiday in France in 1994. Above all, it is very funny and engaging.
Simon Topping, The Reviews Hub, 19th November 2018The Comedy About a Bank Robbery review
Although obviously tightly rehearsed and scripted, The Comedy About A Bank Robbery has a joyful improvised feel to it.
Simon Topping, The Reviews Hub, 15th November 2018Latitude Festival: Jonathan Pie - Comedy Stage
Long may Pie continue to explode with rage, it is a joy to watch.
Simon Topping, The Reviews Hub, 14th July 2018Latitude Festival: QI Live - review
Quite possibly, if we are very lucky, QI will be on the road in the very near future. Fingers crossed.
