Alice Jones, The Independent, 16th May 2013Comedy review: Rob Auton: The Yellow Show
Rob Auton, 30, is a talent to watch - a poet/ comedian/ illustrator, who combines the whimsical appeal of early Josie Long and the lo-fi artistry of Sam Fletcher with a hint of the menace of Tim Key.
Alice Jones, The Independent, 8th May 2013In Thom Tuck Goes Straight to DVD (Radio 4) Steven Seagal was the hero of the half hour. Tuck was nominated for the Edinburgh Comedy Award in 2011 for his show about a quest to watch all 54 Disney movies that never made it to the big screen. For this four-part sequel he continues to watch the films that no one else will, starting with Seagal's late period action movies - a scarcely feasible "1,883 minutes of hitting" since 2002.
It's an excellent concept. Tuck's eagle eye for absurdity - Seagal's face is "like someone trying to draw Bruce Lee on a marshmallow" - is evident, but so too is his clear affection for his terrible source material. I can't wait for the Olsen Twins episode.
