Garrett Millerick review
Hugely entertaining whenever he builds momentum, these inconsistent viewpoints check that a little, the show unable to blast free from its contradictory impulses.
Jay Richardson, The Reviews Hub, 28th October 2024Dip My Brain In Joy: A Life With Neil Innes review
He is forever associated with The Beatles and often referred to as "the seventh Python". But this touching biography of the multitalented and endlessly inventive Neil Innes by his widow Yvonne explores how this unassuming figure was so much more than a mere adjunct to Britain's two greatest cultural forces of the 1960s.
Jay Richardson, Chortle, 25th October 2024Laura Lexx review
A wickedly funny portrayal of parenthood.
Jay Richardson, The Scotsman, 22nd October 2024Spencer Jones review
Although the show is touched with surreal madness throughout, Jones ties it together neatly with a well-plotted musical finale. However, for all that you feel for him in his mid-life crisis, the introspection and gloomier moments aren't as punchy as his previous efforts dedicated to his relationship with his father, or even his less coherent and less linear shows have been. No faulting his ambition and daring though. Hopefully, he'll be able to reconcile the abstract and the storytelling more effectively in the future once again.
Jay Richardson, The Reviews Hub, 21st October 2024Schalk Bezuidenhout: Keeping Up review
A solid storyteller and likeable act to spend time with, who feels completely ensconced in the UK comedy scene after performing here for the better part of a decade, Bezuidenhout still lacks that risk-taking, original verve that could set him apart.
Jay Richardson, The Reviews Hub, 14th October 2024Emma Doran: Dilemma review
Dilemma is a cracking first foray to these shores for a fiercely accomplished and fully formed talent.
Jay Richardson, The Reviews Hub, 10th October 2024Fern Brady: I Gave You Milk To Drink review
Unfortunate celebrity encounters might appear to be sabotaging her own rise to fame, but the Bathgate comic revels in her own opinions with an admirable lack of filter.
Jay Richardson, The List, 4th October 2024Lloyd Griffith review
Baroque & Roll is patchier than Griffith's new weave.
Jay Richardson, The Reviews Hub, 1st October 2024Count Binface: Bindepedence Day review
With British political party season approaching, Count Binface has stolen an (imperial) march on his rivals by launching his manifesto early.
Jay Richardson, The Reviews Hub, 20th September 2024Kiri Pritchard-McLean: Peacock review
Delivered with poise, it wears its heart on its sequinned sleeve but retains a consistent and punchy gag rate.
