Elliot Gonzalez, I Talk Telly, 6th November 2015Radio Times review
This is the harmless - if unremarkable - sitcom from Josh Widdicombe, who you may recognise as the squeaky-voiced Hobbit one from Channel 4's The Last Leg.
Based around a London flat-share, it charts the misadventures of the gawky Josh, his Welsh, laddish mate Owen and the "emotionally damaged" Kate, who this week must navigate a sexy pool party - but oh no, Josh can't swim! - and the revelation that Kate kisses like a blender. Jack Dee also features as an intrusive, socially inept landlord.
If you've never seen a sitcom in your life, prepare to be wowed. Otherwise, there's nothing here you haven't seen before - only then it was probably done better, sharper and quicker.

Brian Logan, The Guardian, 8th October 2015Review: Josh Widdicombe, Cheltenham Comedy Festival
With it nearing the last leg of the Cheltenham Comedy Festival, Thursday night's entertainment was provided by Josh Widdicombe. Famed for his appearances on Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo and, most recently, The Last Leg, it was no great surprise to find out that the event was a complete sell-out. The packed audience was eagerly anticipating laugh-out comedy and once the warm-up act, Tom Crane, had left the stage, we got just that.
