Josie Long - review
One problem is that her overgrown-child persona cramps the political material.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 8th November 2012Seann Walsh - review
Not many standups could benefit from protective headgear. But Seann Walsh spends as much of this show bashing the microphone against his skull as he does speaking into it.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 7th November 2012Seann Walsh - review
The larger problem isn't that Walsh appears boorish, it's that he doesn't appear at all. By the end, I felt I knew nothing about him, save that he's a precocious master of the stand-up's art.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 7th November 2012The best comedy shows for Christmas 2012
Richard Thomas teams up with The Divine David, a taped-up clown brings the physical comedy, and Robin Ince resumes his annual bash for unbelievers.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 4th November 2012The Horne Section - review
It is under-rehearsed to the occasional point of collapse, but undertaken with charm and an open-minded curiosity as to the types of fun available when a comedian and some musicians convene. Horne may be no Sinatra, but the show goes with a real swing.

Kane should have more faith in his ideas.

With this arena-touring show, he's grown into the caricature
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 25th October 2012Richard Herring - review

Brian Logan, The Observer, 21st October 2012Kevin Bridges - review
This is a short show, and even then Kevin Bridges can't quite sustain the excitement of these opening salvos.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 30th September 2012Michael McIntyre - review
To finish, there's an anecdote about a horrific trip to the dentist, whose anaesthetised hero is hauled across London bloodied, dismayed and slobbering his name inarticulately at bemused medics. It's a minor masterpiece of comic storytelling, against which the first half's cliches look tawdrier than ever.
