Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 30th July 2017Interview: rarely asked questions - Tony Law
Tony Law has been a cult comic for too long. It's about time he broke big. And maybe this is his year. He picked up an Edinburgh Comedy Award nomination a few years back and is probably better and more focussed than ever now.

It's all nonsense of course, but brilliant nonsense.
