Fred MacAulay review
His comedy expertise, despite the small crowd, was there to see. But there were few belly laughs, aside from the reason why Donald Trump keeps two golf courses in Scotland executed with a brilliant mime.
Duncan Hill, Brighton Argus, 22nd October 2015Review: Fred Macaulay
It's a thoroughly pleasant 60 minutes - cut down for the Brighton Comedy Festival from the two 45-minute halves he usually performs on tour - with a decent handful of good jokes. But ultimately Twenty Fifteen doesn't have the drive to feel like it's a substantial, or essential, night out.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 23rd May 2014Review: Glasgow Comedy Festival - Fred MacAulay
MacAulay's sometimes outrageous observations ("Have you ever seen a non-obese lottery winner? That's why the cheques are so huge...") are coupled with the fact he remains eminently likeable. With friends and family in for this show, wife Aileen did not escape unscathed, although she supplied one of the best punchlines of the night.
