New interview: Doc Brown
This interview is the first in a series which I've dubbed RAQS. Rather than frequently asked questions these are rarely asked questions. The performer might choose not to answer some, but the answers they do provide are pretty revealing and also entertaining. As is very much the case here.

Si Huan, ECNS, 24th March 2014My Edinburgh: Doc Brown

Doc Brown, Time Out, 1st August 2013This comedy from Simpsons writer Josh Weinstein is another fine excuse for parents and non-parents to flick over to CBBC, with plenty of witty one-liners and a strong voice cast (Richard Ayoade, Doc Brown). Get acquainted over on the iPlayer.
The Guardian, 1st June 2013Smart-talking Mitchell (Doc Brown) is under surveillance after headmaster Mr Abercrombie finds out he burned down his old school, so when items go missing, he's named prime suspect. As Mitchell, Becky (Emma Kennedy) and geeky Templeton (Richard Ayoade) start their own investigation, they stumble upon a mysterious boy, the smell of hotdog goulash, and a load of witty one-liners delivered by digitally enhanced puppets. Suffice to say this gem from Simpsons writer Josh Weinstein is guaranteed to make Grange Hill fans feel very old.
Hannah Verdier, The Guardian, 22nd May 2013Comedy review: Doc Brown
Doc Brown's show is also a tale of two distinct parts. For the first 35 minutes we're taken on a kind of A to Z of rap's foibles and, bizarrely, without the benefit of Brown's back story in the business really coming through. This context is left to diffuse through a second half where the material becomes more personal.
