Gary Delaney review

His jokes are incredibly clever. If you're a fan of word play and puns, then you'll love Delaney.

Vicki Newman, Hartlepool Mail, 1st August 2016

The 15th series of the panel show perennial continues. With the hardcore crew reduced to just Dara O Briain and team captain Hugh Dennis, the combative atmosphere of previous seasons has receded even further. If the flurry of punchlines used to feel like comedic mixed martial arts, now there is more of a swingball vibe. Rob Beckett, Gary Delaney, Ed Gamble, Zoe Lyons and Rhys James are the guests putting topical events through the wringer in search of zingers.

Review, Mock The Week, BBC2

"I hate people who phone me up just to complain about the weather, which is how I lost my job with mountain rescue." - Gary Delaney.

Review: Gary Delaney/Andy Robinson

"You look like a big strong man - as strong as a paedophile's password." And with his opening gag, Gary Delaney has shown that he's not a comedian for the easily shocked. His support act, Andy Robinson, is very much a comedian for the easily amused.

Review: Gary Delaney, Salford

Watching Gary Delaney in such a small space, this is less of a production and more of a friendly performance as he paces around the stage area. Errors are made fun of and the atmosphere is highly informal. However if bad language or rather dubious subjects are not your style of humour then this is not the show for you, but if you're open-minded and enjoy watching Gary Delaney on Mock The Week then this is a night you will remember.

Review - Gary Delaney: There's Something About Gary

For all the plentiful filth, Delaney's jokes are in a long music-hall tradition.
