British Comedy Guide, 4th November 2024The Comedians at the King's - live review
Whether the screen version of The Comedians at the King's will change the minds of those who decides who appears on existing TV stand-up and panel shows is probably open to question, given how such programmes are often about developing relationships with emerging talent more than showcasing a tight ten honed over years on the circuit.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 22nd March 2018Why do some comics make it big and not others?
There are all sorts of comedians I thought would make it but for some reason or other didn't. I tipped Marc Wootton for stardom in the Evening Standard so often it started to become embarrassing. People probably thought we must be related. I also think Boothby Graffoe could have been a mainstream star. Even Addy Van Der Borgh could have been a Saturday night shiny-floored clown. But for some reason none of these people made it as big as I expected. There is still time I guess. Maybe not enough time to get to the O2 this Friday, but there is always next year.
