The 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.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 31st October 2012Russell Kane - review
Kane should have more faith in his ideas.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 29th October 2012John Bishop - review
With this arena-touring show, he's grown into the caricature
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 25th October 2012Richard Herring - review
The show is a rallying call, then, for realism and honesty about the male member - and a great platform for Richard Herring's brand of pedant humour.

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.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 27th September 2012Rory Sheridan's Tales of the Antarctic - review
David O'Doherty makes a rare foray into the one-man comic play from a performer known for lovable keyboard noodling.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 25th September 2012John Shuttleworth - review
Those of us who have long believed John Shuttleworth's songs to harbour untapped reserves of musical and emotional potency could hardly resist this breast cancer charity event: an evening of cover versions by chart-topping acts from now and way back when.

Chris Ramsey feels lucky, and thinks we should, too.
