Ian Cater, What's On London, 12th February 2017Review: Jonathan Pie, The Y
Spoof reporter Jonathan Pie has had a hell of a year. Since becoming a viral sensation in the wake of Donald Trump's US election victory, he has seen his profile, and his ticket sales, reach new heights. His live show is filled with all of the things he's famous for - namely blowing his top over the current state of politics, and well, the world.
Alice Gibbs, Leicester Mercury, 10th February 2017Is it me... or is satire dead?
My next Edinburgh show is going to have elements of satire. Why you ask?! Because I fear it may be dying out and people no longer know what it is and therefore do not appreciate its importance. There. I said it. I went there! Allow me to elaborate...
Georgie Morrell, The Huffington Post, 28th November 2016Jonathan Pie, comedy review
Each breathless fusillade is a true tour de force. Perhaps this fascinating spoof news reporter should stand for election.
Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard, 22nd November 2016Review: Jonathan Pie, The Lantern
Jonathan Pie's show lies somewhere between a comedy set and a political rally. There are plenty of laughs, but there are also plenty of depressing, enraging facts: like the statistic that income inequality has consistently increased every year under the Tories. And there is a clear message about engagement with others, about not simply dismissing people who think differently to us as 'bigots' or 'stupid'. In a time when politics has lost any sort of rudder and a lot of progressives have decided to hole up in their safe space, this comedian may well be helping to shape some sort of viable populist response from the left. And he makes good jokes whilst he does it.
