Book review: Content Provider by Stewart Lee
Lee's pantechnicons full of sarcasm, especially that aimed at the smug liberal elitism he's well aware of possessing, so often pass the clickbait skim-readers and kneejerk commentators by. Still, if you, too, are a smug, liberal elitist, there are few better voices to echo and amplify your own impotent disillusionment than Lee's. Dry, ironic satire at its finest.

The Reviews Hub, 22nd July 2016Review - Rob Auton: The Sleep Show, Latitude
It's a bold or foolhardy comedian to use the title The Sleep Show, almost inviting criticism that it'll cause you to nod off. Sadly, that portent has come true with Rob Auton's latest hour, which is so aimless and repetitive for the first 50 minutes that it has a soporific effect. The final act reveals what he was getting at with his musings, but after a languidly unfocussed and over-long journey, especially for an outdoor festival crowd who need little excuse to disengage.
