Glasgow Comedy Festival reviews of Lubna Kerr (**) and America Stands Up with Kate Willett, Dina Hashem and Greg Stone (****).
Jay Richardson, The Scotsman, 1st April 2019Comedy review: Sindhu Vee: Sandhog
Highly perceptive on the enduring stories we tell ourselves about love, Vee's stage presence and unapologetic conviction dares you to find fault with her reasoning.
Jay Richardson, The Scotsman, 29th March 2019Jess Robinson: No Filter review
Charismatic mimicry with mischievous playfulness.
Jay Richardson, The List, 28th March 2019Russell Kane: The Fast and the Curious
Broad brushstrokes and fun physicality keep Kane ahead of the pack.
Jay Richardson, The List, 27th March 2019Jasper Carrott's Stand Up & Rock review

Jay Richardson, The List, 27th March 2019Andy Zaltzman: The Bugle Live review

Jay Richardson, The List, 22nd March 2019Reviews: Abigoliah Schamaun | Sean McLoughlin
Too painfully self-aware and skilful as comics to frame their identity struggles as typical millennial angst, early thirty-somethings Sean McLoughlin [4 stars] and Abigoliah Schamaun [3 stars] make their respective malaises seem idiosyncratic before arriving at broader conclusions about what they might mean for society.
Jay Richardson, The Scotsman, 18th March 2019Stewart Lee: I was mugged & being a comic made it worse
The stand-up said that one of the two parts of his next live show, Snowflake/Tornado, will be built around the incident, which happened last November
Jay Richardson, Chortle, 16th March 2019Glasgow Comedy Festival review: Ed Gamble
Rejecting an overriding narrative for six unrelated routines, Blizzard, in its tight, hour-long format, is the sort of show that might go unheralded at the Edinburgh Fringe, where hype and artistic pretension is everything. Out of that pressure cooker environment, however, Ed Gamble's latest offering plays extremely well in a club setting.
Jay Richardson, The Scotsman, 15th March 2019Gráinne Maguire interview
Irish comic delves once more into her problematic personality for a new show.
