Tez Ilyas review
Light-hearted but trenchant, Ilyas's show Made in Britain keeps the audience on their toes as he focuses on what unites, rather than divides us.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 23rd March 2017Desiree Burch review
A stellar stand-up set about racism, sex and self-esteem.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 21st March 2017Lucy Porter review
The stand-up's letter to her teenage self prompts some fine routines about maturity, parenthood and suburban living.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 16th March 2017Reaction to Ricky Gervais's transgender jokes
The comic has been accused of transphobia after riffing about Caitlyn Jenner in his standup show. So does giving him a favourable review endorse those gags?
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 14th March 2017Andrew Hunter Murray review
The Austentatious comedian divides the audience into competing teams in this frivolous, sometimes surreal and very likable show.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 6th March 2017Jamali Maddix: crude, cartoonish, straight-up stand-up
The comic who presented a TV series on the rise of the far right is back with a show that combines goofballery with cultural commentary.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 2nd March 2017Seann Walsh review
Walsh wears his comic curmudgeonliness well as he scorns sober maturity, clean eating, Tinder, vapes and smartphones.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 26th February 2017Ricky Gervais review - show is his best yet
Gervais's new set, Humanity, is pumped with scorn and provocation but the inclusion of more personal material gives a rare glimpse of a gentler man.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 24th February 2017Alfie Brown review
Like a British Doug Stanhope, the provocative comic oozes scorn, cynicism and sardonic spleen.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 23rd February 2017Max and Ivan review
Scout leaders haunt the woods with crossbows and there are groansome puns aplenty in this deliciously silly coming-of-age show.
