Interview: Sunday with Les Dennis

The comic on tidying the kitchen (but putting things in the wrong place), turning up for a gig a week early and earning his kids' love with slow roast pork.

Sideshow review

This is what Inside No. 9 could have been, had it not for the genius of Steve Pemberton and Reece Shearsmith: a plodding, cliche-ridden adventure short of both surprises and laughs.

Sideshow review

Avoid this woeful Les Dennis comedy.

Sideshow review

Les Dennis's washed-up psychic can't see he's in a terrible movie.

Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian, 10th March 2022

Film review: Sideshow

Sideshow is a real enigma. It begs the question as to how it ever came to be made. The script is weak and awfully predictable, the many jokes are all straight out of a 1970s working man's club comedy routine and the direction is bog standard to say the least.

Mark Clegg, The Reviews Hub, 10th March 2022
