Alice Jones, The Independent, 5th December 2013A rude welcome to Jane Bussmann's world
I helped to write a sitcom this week. It was with Jane Bussmann, the brilliant writer on Smack the Pony, Brass Eye and South Park, among other twisted TV gems.

Alice Jones, The Independent, 29th October 2013Adrienne Truscott, comic who performs naked waist down
To be fair, the show's title had given fair warning. Adrienne Truscott's Asking for It: A One-Lady Rape About Comedy Starring Her Pussy and Little Else sounds like the sort of thing you might studiously avoid in the cabaret listings of Time Out but it turned out to be a show so daring, unique and entertaining that I and my fellow judges on the Edinburgh Comedy Awards ended up giving it the Panel Prize at this year's Fringe.
Alice Jones, The Independent, 24th October 2013Great cast but unlikely to earn our lasting affections
No, sorry, it's not as funny as Peep Show, but Ambassadors, the new David Mitchell and Robert Webb collaboration, which began last night, isn't really meant to be.
