Latitude review: Jason Manford
This was classic observational stand-up with knobs on.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 20th July 2015Latitude review: Jason Byrne
Once more Byrne went where few comedians dare to go.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 20th July 2015Latitude review: David O'Doherty
The decision to have David O'Doherty close the comedy tent on Saturday night was an interesting one.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 19th July 2015Latitude review: Marcus Brigstocke
Marcus Brigstocke is probably the perfect Latitude comedian, completely in tune with the middle class audience's dreams, aspirations and frustrations.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 19th July 2015Latitude review: Sara Pascoe
She might have been on in the middle of the afternoon rather than headlining, but a roar went up when Sara Pascoe was introduced.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 19th July 2015Edinburgh preview: Mike Wozniak
In my head Mike Wozniak has a little place in Edinburgh Fringe history. Long before free shows were sweeping the awards board his gratis gig in the basement of a restaurant near the Pleasance was the first free show that the Edinburgh Comedy Award panel advised me to check out back in 2008.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 19th July 2015Edinburgh preview: New Jewish Jokes
I've got a confesion to make. When I saw Ivor Dembina in Edinburgh a couple of years ago I nominated him for A Dave Award. Not for the Best Joke of the Fringe but for the Worst Joke of the Fringe.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 18th July 2015Latitude review: Jon Richardson
I don't usually like giving away stories but it doesn't really matter with Richardson as the beauty really is in the telling.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 18th July 2015Latitude review: Tim Key
In the absence of Daniel Kitson the coolest comedian at this year's festival is Tim Key.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 18th July 2015Latitude review: Russell Kane
Russell Kane said that comedians aren't supposed to do Latitude two years in a row but he loves it so much he begged the organisers to let him come back this year. Good call.
