Review: Aisling Bea, Soho Theatre
Young Irish actress and comic Aisling Bea made a tremendous debut with C'est la Bea at last year's Edinburgh Fringe, where she was deservedly nominated for best newcomer in the Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Awards. Now she is performing a short run at the Soho Theatre in London and, on second view, it's still a joyously funny show.

Stephanie Merritt, The Observer, 5th January 2014Who better to host highlights from hotly tipped comics at the Edinburgh festival fringe than seasoned funnyman Seann Walsh? This selection features Tom Rosenthal (c]Friday Night Dinner], Plebs), a quirky comic whose travels in Bulgaria formed the basis of his 2013 show. There's also Aisling Bea, the Irish comedian who scooped last year's So You Think You're Funny? award, and the Rubberbandits, the Limerick troupe whose hilarious hip-hop antics are YouTube hits.
