Tim Harding's comedy diary

Lou Taylor and Jamie D'Souza: both new to me and both very strong.

Tim Harding, Chortle, 1st June 2024

Nightingales (Channel 4) is dark black comedy with a brilliantly starry cast. The effect makes you blink. The nucleus is three security guards, Robert Lindsay, David Threlfall and James Ellis. Channel 4 describes them as unconventional, which is like calling Dracula anaemic. They are raving.
