Comedy review: Scott Gibson at Soho Theatre, W1
This newcomer is amusing and often absorbing, but he needs a more defined stage persona.
Dominic Maxwell, The Times, 23rd December 2016Comedy review: Catherine Tate at the Eventim Apollo, W6
The best moments of the sketch comic's show are those that would not work as well on television. Even so, most of the routines go on too long.

To judge by a consistently inventive, busy and often inspired opening night, this will remain one of the happiest shows in town.
Dominic Maxwell, The Times, 13th June 2016Comedy review: Sara Pascoe at the Soho Theatre, W1
A compressed version of the comedian's tour show was too slick and ingenious to be boring, but little of it translated into laughs.
