Latitude: reflections on a weekend of comedy

Latitude has often used the tag-line 'more than just a music festival' and with an extensive arts line-up that's certainly true. The Suffolk festival has also grown into one of the largest comedy programmes on the circuit. The tents may now have been dismantled, but Fergus Morgan reflects back on a weekend's mirth in the festival's purple comedy arena.

Review - Josh Widdicombe at Latitude

For a premier-league headliner, the material's more hit and miss than you might hope for; with a little too much treading water between those gems.

Latitude review: Josh Widdicombe

The Devon comic has become pretty ubiquitous on television in the last couple of years and it is easy to see why.

Latitude review: Josh Widdicombe

Josh Widdicombe does not do edgy comedy. Josh Widdicombe does not do comedy your parents wouldn't approve of. Josh Widdicombe does comedy that is aimed fairly and squarely at a mainstream audience and prime time TV shows. What he does he does very well.

Adam Hills, Josh Widdicombe and Alex Brooker continue their eighth series. Last week they had their plates overflowing, after the EU referendum result, so this week's instalment will doubtless be dealing with the fallout/relief, depending on how our nation of economic experts has decided to determine our collective future. Additionally, viewers can get stuff off their chests using the #isitok hashtag too, always something of an added bonus.

Ben Arnold, The Guardian, 1st July 2016

It's probably not bet-hedging to suggest the last leggers lean more towards Team Remain, given the EU's anti-discrimination law for people with disabilities, and the sort of European social funding that last year saw 87,000 British disabled people helped towards employment. So now the EU referendum vote has been decisively cast, what will hosts Adam Hills, Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicombe - and a special guest - make of it all?
