British Comedy Guide, 19th October 2015Andy Parsons interview

The Torquay Herald, 17th October 2015Radio Times review
When this show first aired ten years ago - back when Twitter didn't exist, David Cameron was Shadow Education Secretary and Andy Murray was outside the world's top 400 - it didn't look like much. Yet another panel show, and an unprepossessing mix of Have I Got News for You and Whose Line Is It Anyway? to boot - surely it wouldn't go on to be one of TV comedy's most reliable ratings bankers?
Well, it did - and now it's back for a triumphant 14th series, with Dara O Briain still in charge and a roster of strong comics, old and new: Katherine Ryan, James Acaster, Matt Forde and Josh Widdicombe join hoary regulars Hugh Dennis and Andy Parsons.

Jemma Page, Nottingham Post, 19th March 2015Review: Andy Parsons - Live and Unleashed
Having only seen Andy Parsons on BBC's Mock The Week before, I didn't know what to expect of his comedy, bar his distinctive accent.
And I must admit it took me (and the audience) a little while to warm up to his comic style.
