The League of Gentlemen, BBC2 review
Triumphant return of iconic dark comedy.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 21st December 2017Meet the three comics taking on their critics
Wild Bore is described by its creators as "a playful riposte to critics", and it certainly made an impact at the Edinburgh Fringe this year. Its actors deliver much of the show while baring their bottoms to the audience and, perhaps unsurprisingly, it ran the gamut of one- to five-star reviews, as critics had fun with cheeky, bum-based puns.
Veronica Lee, The Telegraph, 21st November 2017The Elvis Dead, Soho Theatre review
A high-concept show delivered with a lo-fi sensibility, The Elvis Dead is a hoot from start to finish.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 20th November 2017Natalie Palamides, Soho Theatre review
It's not often the publicity material for a comedy show has a health advisory attached: if you are allergic to eggs you may have to give Natalie Palamides' show Laid - which won best newcomer at the lastminute.com Edinburgh Comedy Awards at the Fringe in August - a miss, and that would be a shame.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 13th November 2017John Bishop, O2 review
veryman comedy with a hint of subversion.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 6th November 2017Kerry Godliman, Touring review
She's canny on the differences between "girl" friendships" and "bloke" friendships (or indeed man flu and woman flu), and the idiocy of the trend for adult colouring books; she also throws in some emoji jokes for good measure. This is standard fare for comics, but Godliman, nicely foul-mouthed when she wants to be, is caustic when required.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 20th October 2017Mat Ewins, Soho Theatre review
Multimedia show with twists in the tale.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 16th October 2017Ahir Shah, Soho Theatre - a bravura response to Brexit
Angry, passionate and political.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 27th September 2017Mae Martin, Soho Theatre review - life is a drug
Dry storytelling about an obsessional life.
