Matthew Dunne-Miles, Finlay Greig and Craig Leiper, WOW247, 2nd August 2016Latitude: reflections on a weekend of comedy
Latitude has often used the tag-line 'more than just a music festival' and with an extensive arts line-up that's certainly true.

The tents may now have been dismantled, but Fergus Morgan reflects back on a weekend's mirth in the festival's purple comedy arena.
Fergus Morgan, The Reviews Hub, 20th July 2016Review: David O'Doherty at Latitude 2016
David O'Doherty's been starting his tour dates - Latitude included - by faux-boasting how this time next year, he'll be huge. Blowing off gigs like this to perform to tens of thousands, and act like a bigger prick than Kanye.

BBC News, 30th April 2016Sydney Comedy Festival review: David O'Doherty
O'Doherty describes himself as the "Aldi Enya", and he has much in common with the discount supermarket chain. On stage, he's modest, with a surprisingly random mix of goods and ultimately very good value, all up.
Sarah Thomas, Sydney Morning Herald, 18th April 2016Review: David O'Doherty
He always used to bill himself as "very low-energy musical whimsy", but David O'Doherty's latest show is pretty energetic, only very sparingly deploys the 1986 Casio keyboard that's become his trademark, and contains more bite than you'd expect.

Chortle, 23rd February 2016Review: David O'Doherty, Leicester Comedy Festival
Armed with a Casio keyboard from 1986 and a deadpan delivery, our host told a story equal in its self-loathing as in its affection.
