Fisherman's Friends review

Unlike the powerful throat lozenge with which it shares a name, it is appealingly bland.

Brian Viner, Daily Mail, 15th March 2019

Fisherman's Friends review

This rough-edged Cornish sea shanty comedy barely makes it out of port.

Robbie Collin, The Telegraph, 14th March 2019

Film review: Fisherman's Friends

Fisherman's Friends hauls up a familiar catch of friendship, betrayal, redemption and self-analysis, shot on location in picturesque Cornwall.

Damon Smith, The Irish News, 13th March 2019

Fisherman's Friends review

Inspired by a true story, this warm-hearted tale of a singing group from Cornwall is likable, if goofy.

Mike McCahill, The Guardian, 13th March 2019

Fisherman's Friends review

It's a feel-good charmer set in rural Port Isaac, with a witty British - or rather Cornish - sense of humour and a selection of sea shanties along the way.

Bev Lung, The Upcoming, 11th March 2019

Review: Fisherman's Friends

Undemanding, cockle-warming British comedy inspired by a singing sensation.

James Mottram, The List, 11th March 2019

Fisherman's Friends review

Anyone who's listened to the Fisherman's Friends, whether live or on the radio in the car, will know what a treat they are to listen to, and the film is a fine platform for their talents. The injection of a rather soppy romance and some drama about big businessmen buying a pub does distract, but when the film turns its focus solely on the titular musicians, it's a dead cert to entertain existing fans and win over plenty more.

Meet the women running LGBTQ-friendly comedy nights

What's up Funny Women! This is Siân Docksey about to drop the hottest guest blog since someone decided that was a thing (i.e. me, just now.) I'm launching my new alternative comedy night Permitted Fruit at a lovely new LGBTQ-friendly venue that warmly welcomes anyone and everyone, so I decided to have a chat with the boss LGBTQ women who run comedy nights in London. Read on for their excellent tips and to play the accidentally-created drinking game 'How many more times will Siân derail her own interview by talking about astrology?'

Andrew Doyle: Friendly Fire review

A contrarian comic with strong gags allied to his persecuted attitude.

Jay Richardson, The List, 23rd January 2019

A leftie that the left think is alt right. Right?
