In Russell Howard's new show solid observational material is - as usual - elevated by his superb, sustained pace, energy, and physical performance.
Alex Bruce, Chortle, 4th October 2019Sketch You Up! review
Four strong performers offer an energetic hour that's far more convincing than so many sketch offerings.
Alex Bruce, Chortle, 3rd August 2019Review - Ben Van der Velde: Fablemaker
Fablemaker is part impressive, deft and skilful, and part questionable in its patchwork nature. Van Der Velde undoubtedly makes fables, some of which unfortunately miss the mark though others do land with laughter and meaning.
Alex Bruce, Chortle, 3rd August 2019Review - Stevie Martin Vol.1
Stevie Martin presents her first solo show - one of only beginnings. ('Middles and ends are gone') What sounds at first like a conceptual quirk is simply hollow cover for both not being able to settle on one particular begining and, unfortunately, a distinct lack of material throughout a resultantly structureless show.
Alex Bruce, Chortle, 20th April 2019Joanne McNally: Wine Tamer review
Joanne McNally's show - although helped by fantastic crowd work, pacing and audience rapport - flits randomly between invented viewpoints, some hilarious and authentic, others less convincing. It's disjointed, inconsistent and therefore frustrating at times, despite great rhythm and a high gag rate.
