A new series of the show in which Greg Davies sets a series of increasingly irritating tasks for famous comedians, this week comprising Jon Richardson, Katherine Ryan, Joe Wilkinson, Doc Brown and Richard Osman. At stake and up for grabs is the most important document each comedian owns. In the case of Joe Wilkinson, it's his marriage certificate, so nothing trivial. The biggest take-home from this is that lateral thinking is clearly not a comic's forte.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 5th June 2016Sky Arts '...In Ireland' shorts reviewed
Sky Arts must be pleased with the results of their latest round of comedy short films, unveiled at the Cat Laughs Festival in Kilkenny this weekend. Though each Irish-themed offering was shot in a day, there's not a duffer among the six, with almost all the comics featured drawing directly on dubious episodes from their lives.

Rachel Aroesti, The Guardian, 20th May 2016Katherine Ryan: I want to breastfeed on Mock the Week
This single mother, standup comedian and panel show favourite has barely a minute to spare... but still found time to tell us about waitressing at Hooters, fighting sexism, dealing with death threats and her invincible self-belief.
