David Baddiel review
My Family: Not the Sitcom is full of "complicated truths"; riotous and unsentimental as it appears on the surface, it's told with real affection for two of the most significant people in his life. And if that's not reason enough to see it, there are cat videos.
Maryam Philpott, The Reviews Hub, 19th May 2016David Baddiel, comedy review

Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard, 18th May 2016Review of David Baddiel's 'My Family: Not the sitcom'
Baddiel is not the first to do a stand-up show about the loss of a parent but it's rare to see one that draws its subject as honestly, vividly and humorously as this.
Alice Jones, i Newspaper, 18th May 2016David Baddiel - My Family: Not The Sitcom review

Holly Williams, What's On Stage, 18th May 2016'David Baddiel - My Family: Not The Sitcom' review
David Baddiel's certainly got more outrageous stories to recall than most, and tells them in warmly witty style. I wish this show long life.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 18th May 2016David Baddiel review - 'candid stand-up'
It's inevitably uncomfortable in places. It's also very funny, and works both as an act of celebration and an act of mourning. It takes a while to find its feet though.
