Yikes! This month it's ten years since the first Circuit Training dropped, and so to celebrate we go deep with the UK-bound, also-celebrating Kevin Smith. It's 25 years since he inspired a generation of budding directors with Clerks, then inadvertently became a stand-up, a job that nearly proved terminal last year. He's in splendid form about that, his Springsteen-like live shows, podcast wives, Marvel vs Mallrats, and - unexpectedly - Ian Cognito.
He took eyebrow-acting lessons from Roger Moore, became a jumper-clad TV presenter then a high-ranking whip in John Major's government, where he changed marriage forever. Now Gyles Brandreth is on tour, but one topic is off the table. "If I mention Brexit during the show I give everybody their money back."
Britain's foremost 'recovering comic', Mark Thomas has given the NHS a thorough check-up, and come up with a simple but stark diagnosis. And, as ever, it's rubbed people up the wrong way.
The acclaimed absurdist Paul Currie won a Comedians' Choice award for his latest show Hot Donkey at the Edinburgh Fringe - now he brings it and a first Greatest Hits hour to Galway's Vodafone Comedy Carnival. But will his trolley travel too?
Rocking a 100% record when it comes to brilliantly-realised high-concept comic productions, Joseph Morpurgo brings his fourth mini masterpiece to a suitably highbrow setting on Thursday evening.
Making a much more welcome state visit, Doug Stanhope talks Edinburgh fights, podcast dramas, and his absent Trump material. Warning: includes liberal swearing, and at least one mention of former Ireland manager Jack Charlton.
