Andy Shaw - reviewing the reviewer
Andy Shaw isn't happy about a write-up his political show received by Brian Logan of The Guardian.

In a long-running tour, the supercilious stand-up brings back old gags, leaving a bad smell - and a loveless worldview - in his wake.

Brian Logan, The Guardian, 11th May 2017Reginald D Hunter review
The standup considers kinky sex, politics and Angela Merkel's alter ego but his new touring show is seldom striking.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 8th May 2017Kiri Pritchard-McLean interview
Fed up with heckles, hostility and predatory promoters, Kiri Pritchard-McLean set out to detail the industry's misogyny in a raucous, revelatory performance.
