Review: Adrienne Truscott, Soho Theatre
Show about a serious subject is acidly funny.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 16th May 2014David Baddiel, Menier Chocolate Factory - Review
An intelligent and witty examination of modern celebrity.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 3rd May 2014Cardinal Burns, Channel 4
A move from E4, where sketch duo Cardinal Burns's debut series was shown, to Channel 4 is a significant jump. A bigger budget (one presumes), a broader target demographic and the confidence of your employers should act as a fillip to performers; on the evidence of last night's opener to their second series, that confidence was well placed.

Entertaining if unilluminating biopic about the comedian.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 22nd April 2014Festival of the Unspoken Nerd, Udderbelly, review
The threesome perform with gusto and you can learn lots of fun stuff.

Decent storyteller who needs more convincing material.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 18th March 2014Review: Miranda Hart, O2 Arena
Hart is an undeniably warm performer who held the O2 in her thrall and most of the audience thoroughly enjoyed the show. But just as I thought I might be suffocated by her lack of ambition and blandness, Hart pulled a masterstroke; she left the stage as a 10-minute, tightly edited film that tied up all the show's strands in a series of well executed gags was played on the big screens. It gains the third star.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 14th March 2014The Michael McIntyre Chat Show review
This show was trailed by a BBC announcer saying, "Stepping into the shoes of the chat-show greats..." but on the evidence of this first outing Michael McIntyre is good at being chirpy and making slurping noises, but not much else.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 11th March 2014Losing your comedy partner is no laughing matter
After decades together, a comedy partner becomes almost a physical extension of you.
