The Baby is the scariest show about motherhood I've ever seen - and I relate to it
Sky Atlantic's new show The Baby gives us an extreme version of what we fear will be the worst parts of parenthood.

My stand-up is eccentric and often with an awkward high energy delivery to it.

Brian And Charles review
Brian And Charles is a whimsy of such sweet, optimistic nature that you forget the silliness of its premise and forgive its simplistic storytelling.

Sarah Millican: Bobby Dazzler review
There are some low-wattage anecdotes in this set but the stand-up delivers gags about farting and haemorrhoids with an undeniable vitality.

1 hour (ish) of high octane, funkadelic beats, sketches and comedy. Have we mentioned there's beatboxing?

The Baby review
Horror-comedy fails to raise laughs or goosebumps.
Dan Einav, The Financial Times, 7th July 2022
The Baby review
This suspenseful, comic series about a possessed baby that literally falls into a single woman's life has an eerily dystopian feel - especially in light of the US clampdown on abortion rights.
Lucy Mangan, The Guardian, 7th July 2022
The Baby review
Sky Atlantic's new comedy-horror starts off as a smart take on the trials of motherhood but soon descends into clichéd farce.
