Man Down review

The end of the fourth series of Man Down had plenty to get your teeth into, with chaos, comedy and pathos all thrown in.

Ian Wolf, On The Box, 29th November 2017

Should comedians change their act for different times?

Should Greg Davies' show have started with a trigger warning for anyone that might have been traumatised by a GP?

Comedy review: Greg Davies at the Eventim Apollo, W6

There is a new coarseness at play in this show, a diminution of the sense of generosity that used to make Davies such delicious company.

Dominic Maxwell, The Times, 21st November 2017

Greg Davies review

Davies's litany of grossly inappropriate stories - from his youth, his teaching career, or as a man who should know better - prove ferociously funny for their endlessly shameful transgressions.

Steve Bennett, Chortle, 17th November 2017

Greg Davies review

Supremely silly stand-up shouts the unsayable. In an exuberant new show, Davies scrutinises his own ridiculousness and goes from outre stories about his mum to a musical tribute to his dad.

Brian Logan, The Guardian, 17th November 2017

Greg Davies review

A strong return for Davies and a reassertion of what a powerful live comic he is, but there's a bit too much filler for my liking.

Greg Davies, comedy review

The 6ft 8in comedian hits the comic heights by being "a dirty boy", writes Bruce Dessau.

Greg Davies interview

Greg Davies on why he's piling on the pressure in Man Down -- and why he's still in touch with Taylor Lautner.

Andrew Williams, Metro, 6th November 2017

Man Down, the Greg Davies vehicle, is ultimately funnier, more surreal, more grown-up that Bounty Hunters. It's suddenly struck me that the title (and the titles, which feature Davies as a puppet, having his strings suddenly cut) is double-edged: it's a rejoinder to being told to "man up". Scatological, and scattergun in parts, he's aided by a tremendous cast: filthy, but often filthily funny.

Taskmaster: series 5, episode 8 review

It's the grand final!
