Comedy review: Mark Steel at Hertford Theatre
The Radio 4 comedian goes into the aftermath of his divorce with too many digressions, but his inventiveness and mimicry save the day.
Dominic Maxwell, The Times, 20th February 2018Comedy review: Bill Bailey at the Barbican, York
If you saw his masterful previous show, you'll enjoy all this larking about while knowing it's a notch below Bailey at his unpredictable best.
Dominic Maxwell, The Times, 5th February 2018Review: Trygve Wakenshaw & Barnie Duncan
A celebration of ridiculousness that reduces the simplest elements of office life to outright absurdity.
Dominic Maxwell, The Times, 10th January 2018Comedy review: Rob Newman at Soho Theatre, W1
The show, Total Eclipse of Descartes, should sink under the weight of its highfalutin ideas. Yet it has a salving sense of mischief.
Dominic Maxwell, The Times, 10th January 2018Review: Andy Zaltzman at the Soho Theatre, W1
The self-deprecating goofiness in which he wraps his big ideas needs more focus if he's to stay the right side of shambling.
Dominic Maxwell, The Times, 2nd January 2018Comedy review: Greg Davies at the Eventim Apollo, W6
There is a new coarseness at play in this show, a diminution of the sense of generosity that used to make Davies such delicious company.
Dominic Maxwell, The Times, 21st November 2017Comedy review: Katherine Ryan at Alban Arena, St Albans
Ryan is the real thing, but she just needs to leave her comfort zone of smiling abrasiveness to take this enjoyable hour from good to great.
Dominic Maxwell, The Times, 20th November 2017Comedy review: Tim Key: Megadate at Soho Theatre, W1
I have never enjoyed myself in a comedy show more than in this adjective-defyingly unusual mixture of genres.
Dominic Maxwell, The Times, 17th October 2017Comedy review: Nick Helm at Winchester Discovery Centre
His story of painful sex acts with an old college friend is so hilariously grim and vivid, so exuberantly relayed, that you believe every awful word.
Dominic Maxwell, The Times, 11th October 2017Comedy review: Milton Jones at the Hawth, Crawley
His ruminative air can work against the build-up of momentum that would make for a great evening rather than great moments.
