By the end of the show Shuttleworth is reconsidering his decision to retire. Hopefully Fellows though will stick to the decision.

Sam Simmons: Not A People Person review

Sam Simmons has won awards for his stand-up comedy, including the Fosters Edinburgh Comedy Award in 2015 and the Barry Award 2015 Melbourne International Comedy Festival, he's also appeared on TV in Room 101 and 8 Out Of 10 Cats. On the basis of his show at The Lowry, it is difficult to understand why.

Simon Evans: In The Money - The Lowry, Salford review

Evans has a very dry satirical wit which comes across well in the more intimate setting of a mid-sized theatre.

Stephen Bailey review

Nothing is safe from his cheeky irreverent humour, and this is not the show for those easily offended by sexual references or swearing. But if you like modern, fast paced and observational comedy then Stephen Bailey just could be the man for you!

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.

Beardyman - The Lowry, Salford review

Beardyman is not a sedate musical evening, and being mostly electronic music and sound it wouldn't be to everyone's taste, but it is a noisy, interactive and downright fun night out.

Morgan and West: For Kids - The Lowry, Salford review

For Kids might be accurate, but don't write it off for adults either, this is a show that can be enjoyed by the young at heart of any age.

Fred MacAuley Twenty Fifteen: The Lowry, Salford review

Fred MacAuley is, undoubtedly, one of the best Scottish comedians around.

Review: Ross Noble: Tangentleman Tour 2015 - Salford

Ross Noble's Tangentleman Tour 2015 is definitely not for the faint hearted or easily offended but is a stunning showcase for a brilliant stand up comedian.

Review: Stephen K. Amos - The Lowry, Salford

An evening spent with Stephen K. Amos is not for the easily offended. His language is peppered with swear words and his content can be close to the bone, but it is one of the funniest shows you may see.
