Stephen Fry's Farewell - seven things we learned

After 13 years, 184 episodes and enough clever clogs asides to fill a decent-sized library wing, television's favourite erudite uncle has surrendered the lectern. It was Stephen Fry's farewell show as QI quizmaster.

Nick Revell: Feminist Porno Jihadi review

Nick Revell is definitely on the broadsheet end of the comedy spectrum. His impassioned arguments are long and deep and littered with references to French renaissance satirists and 4th Century theologians.

David Hadingham: genius you've probably never heard of (Link expired)

A veteran of the UK comedy circuit with more than 20 years of gigs under his belt, you won't see the extraordinary David Hadingham on a TV panel show - but he certainly deserves your attention.

Where next for Steve Coogan's The Trip?

When Rob Brydon tweeted that there was a new series of The Trip on the horizon, it was perhaps the best news of the year so far. And it raises the question: where will they go next? How far will their magazine's budget stretch this time?

Meet the brains behind zom-rom-com Nina Forever

There's a fresh, funny and genuinely weird London-set zombie film out this week and no, it's not that Austen badaptation advertised everywhere. Nina Forever is the debut feature of writer-directors the Blaine Brothers, a magic realist tale that turns hackneyed zombie tropes inside out with a ménage à trois in which one of the people just happens to be (un)dead.
