Once upon a time in the West Country... in this festive one-off, gangly stand-up Russell Howard attempts to cut the acting mustard as put-upon everyguy Dan Colman, escorting his new girlfriend back home for Christmas to meet his wacky Bristolian family. With a stacked supporting cast - including Neil Morrissey as his fitness freak dad and Greg Davies as a party-hearty uncle - it's a carefully calibrated extension of the successful Howard brand, and even features his real-life sibling Kerry as Dan's glam younger sis, Julie.
Graeme Virtue, The Guardian, 26th December 2015Radio Times review
If you don't know what the title means, "gert lush" is the highest form of praise a Bristolian can bestow on anything. So clearly expectations are high for Russell Howard's debut comedy drama (co-written with Steve Williams) that also features Neil Morrissey (dressed like "a pervert elf" as his fitness-obsessed dad), Greg Davies (as his party loving uncle), Steve Williams, Sophie Thomson (his inappropriately enthusiastic mum) and Howard's sister Kerry of Him and Her fame.
The premise is simple: Dan (Howard) introduces his girlfriend to his crazy West Country family over Christmas. Kerry has said the script is "just a massive love letter to our mum and dad". Which is a bit worrying.

Greg Davies and Alex Horne will return to Dave for second and third series of hit comedy format Taskmaster.
British Comedy Guide, 24th September 2015Taskmaster, series one review
Greg Davies is fantastic; he's harsh, loud and ridiculous, completely giddy with power, and the relationship between Davies and Horne is clearly a long-lived one.
Becca Moody, Moody Comedy, 8th September 2015Radio Times review
No sooner has she left The One Show sofa, the ubiquitous Alex Jones is back, this time on the panel show in which participants attempt to hoodwink their opponents with absurd facts and plausible lies about themselves. It's all in good fun, and host Rob Brydon and team captains David Mitchell and Lee Mack know how to squeeze the maximum amount of laughter from each absurd suggestion. Comedy actor Greg Davies, performance poet John Cooper Clarke and TV presenter Rick Edwards are also along for the ride in this edition.
Huw Fullerton, Radio Times, 14th August 2015Mike Wozniak in the #WOWwagon (Link expired)
Mike Wozniak might be best known now for his moustachioed portrayal of Brian alongside Greg Davies in the superb Channel 4 sitcom Man Down, but he's also a Fringe favourite, and something of a veteran, having been nominated for the if.comedy best newcomer award back in 2008.
