Ben Williams, Time Out, 1st May 2013Review: Alex Horne presents The Horne Section
The show probably won't change the face of the universe, but there's really no harm in getting yourself a bit of Horne on Sunday evenings.
Brian Donaldson, The List, 26th February 2013The Horne Section: Made in a Hovel
Just six weeks after we met in the Hovel and our thoughts, scribbles and pleas have somehow become six half hour episodes that we're all incredibly proud of.
Alex Horne, BBC Blogs, 24th February 2013The Horne Section - review
It is under-rehearsed to the occasional point of collapse, but undertaken with charm and an open-minded curiosity as to the types of fun available when a comedian and some musicians convene. Horne may be no Sinatra, but the show goes with a real swing.

Tommy Holgate, The Sun, 11th July 2012The Horne Section: Songs in the key of silly
It's the perfect match. The improvised musings of the country's best comedians combined with the free-form noodlings of a five-piece jazz band. When The Horne Section debuted at Edinburgh this summer, it quickly became the talk of the Fringe. Punters clutching pints queued round the block for the occasional, lightly shambolic midnight shows. Jimmy Carr dropped by to rap out 10 one-liners over 10 different beats, Tim Minchin improvised a song about cheese and Tim Key performed a track by the Russian punk band Leningrad. There were burlesque dancers, shared bags of chips and 2am Bon Jovi singalongs, led by Josie Long with Mark Watson on drums.
