Brighton Fringe review - Ryan Mold and Friends

It's hard to perform comedy to a small crowd, especially when acts are trying out new material. Tonight, at the Caxton Arms, we are a select, but happy, few looking to be entertained and what we get is some good laughs, small giggles and a few smiles here and there, in this mixed bag show.

Any actor playing Henry 8th must reckon with Sid James

I didn't watch the Anne Boleyn thing. Did you? The [c]Channel 5] miniseries everyone was talking about? I just figured there wasn't going to be much suspense in it.

Best ever Henry VIII? Obviously that's Sid James. No contest there: 1971, Carry On Henry ("Has she been chaste?", "All over Normandy").
