Radio Times review

The show moves to BBC Two, where Alan Carr kicks off about "people who've got too much to say for themselves... always got an opinion". So I'll say nothing about his warm-up routine on Trip Advisor, skin disorders, school photos and Jack the Ripper walks. But if the comedy doesn't work out, Alan, you'd make a great tourist guide.

First on is Francesca Martinez who uses her cerebral palsy (or wobbliness as she calls it) for both laughs and political point scoring. Finally Nish Kumar does a scorching riff on the lack of right-wing comedians and left-wing action movies, before ripping into the political incorrectness of board games.
