Bristol Comedy Competition Semi-Final One review

Bristol has always punched above its weight when producing comedians, and the city's new comedy festival - in addition to the big-name Comedy Garden and vintage Slapstick Festival celebrations - aims to nurture the already fruitful grassroots scene.

Flo & Joan: One Man Musical review

Particularly for grown-up fans of musical theatre who grew up in Andrew's "Golden Age," and for anyone seeing a clever adult parody, this is unmissable. A shame there is no smaller West End theatre free for the foreseeable, as this deserves almost as long a run as anything written before 1986 by you-know-who.

Flo & Joan: One Man Musical review

The One Man Musical itself is almost secondary, a chronological run through his privileged childhood and theatre games, partnership with Tim Rice (here for budget reasons cast as an actual bag of rice) and multiple marriages as Lloyd Webber becomes the musical legend we know today.
