TV review: Ellie & Natasia
It's not often that I watch a sketch show boxed set on iPlayer and immediately want to continue to the second episode, but it happened just now with Ellie & Natasia.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 21st June 2022Theatre review: Tony [The Tony Blair Rock Opera], Park Theatre
I had misgivings about how they were going to make Blair into a comic figure given that he is best remembered by many for taking the UK into the Iraq war, but Hill and Brown successfully find the balance between being as stupid as a panto and as seriously poiltical as Brecht or Dario Fo.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 17th June 2022Barry Cryer: A Celebration review
Tears of a clown? Nobody, if the slew of comics and actors at this starry one-off celebration last night was anything to go by, had told Barry Cryer about it.
Dominic Maxwell, The Times, 14th June 2022Goodbye Baz: how stars celebrated the life of Barry Cryer
Friends, fans and family of Barry Cryer gathered in London's West End last night to remember the great gagsmith at a star-studded memorial gig.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 14th June 2022Review: Tony! [The Tony Blair Rock Opera], Park Theatre
Classic Harry Hill - funny, surreal and clever.
Joe Scholes, Everything Theatre, 11th June 2022Harry Hill's musical takes bite out of Blair
Clearly this won't be to everyone's taste - least of all Tony's - and many who voted for him may also find it hard to stomach. But this terrific show is all the better for it.
Patrick Marmion, Daily Mail, 10th June 2022Tony! (The Tony Blair Rock Opera) review
Harry Hill puts the party into politics.
Ryan Gilbey, The Guardian, 9th June 2022Tony! The Tony Blair Rock Opera review
It's a dodgy dossier of a show which depicts New Labour's leader as the emptiest of empty suits. It is, however, very witty and tuneful too. It is, however, very witty and tuneful too. Hill, who wrote the book, has never been to everyone's taste - the little boy inside him is always desperate to make burping noises - but if you're a fan of his brand of comedy you'll warm to this venture.
Clive Davis, The Times, 9th June 2022Tony! (The Tony Blair Rock Opera) review
Begins promisingly, then outstays its welcome - ring any bells?
Dominic Cavendish, The Telegraph, 9th June 2022Tony! (The Tony Blair Rock Opera) review
There's not much satirical sophistication on show in this oddly-timed musical effort.
