Carol Midgley, The Times, 26th February 2021Review: Stand Up And Deliver

Steve Bennett, Chortle, 25th February 2021Stand Up & Deliver review
Five comedians mentor five celebrities - from a Tory peer to the Happy Mondays singer - in the art of live comedy for charity. Even when the jokes don't land, it's a laugh.
