Holly Walsh: UK's best place in the world for comedy

The teenage nerd-turned-successful comedian on her new standup show, being terminally uncool and having a vicar for a mother.

With a little liquid still left in that particular game show crossover sponge, here's another splash of word-wrangling whimsy from the Cats crew, with Jimmy Carr, Sean Lock and Jon Richardson joined by Reginald D. Hunter and British comedy award-winner Aisling Bea in search of those elusive eight-pointers. The lexicographical gold-panning is overseen, as ever, by Susie Dent, with assistance from Holly Walsh. As for which format to remix next, how about 8 Out of 10 Cats does The Crystal Maze?

The first in a new series of the show in which Alan Davies and a gang of droll types blether on around a table, unrehearsed, and settle upon the subject of the show by the end. Giving Davies's own floppy mop of hair a run for its money is Seann Walsh, joined by Holly Walsh (no relation), Jimmy Carr and Tommy Tiernan. All human life is there, from drink-driving, doing Nazi salutes to Prince Charles, falling asleep under the coats in TK Maxx and match-making for Prince Harry.

Radio Times review

Alan Davies returns for more drink-fuelled post-pub-style chewing of fat with his comedy mates. It's a format that makes a virtue out of its lack of structure and for a lot of the time it feels like comedians showing off round a table over a host of topics from cornflakes to the royals to sharing stories about how they were sacked.

Sometimes this can lead to some decent comedy from a line-up that includes Seann Walsh, Holly Walsh, Jimmy Carr and Tommy Tiernan. The latter is especially good, especially when reflecting on the eccentricities of the Ireland of his childhood.

Holly Walsh: I build my comedy block-by-block like Lego

Standup is a great way to process bad things that happen to you. I love filling a routine with ideas and mini-punchlines.
