Review: Funny Women Awards Final 2016, Koko
If we wanted to get all political about it Funny Women shouldn't exist. Comedians are comedians, why should gender even enter into it? But it does and the Funny Women organisation is clearly tapping into something. This year's final was staged at a bigger venue than usual and it was absolutely packed. For the first time in as long as I can remember I had to review a gig perched on a step at the back of a room.

Sam Wonfor, Newcastle Chronicle, 23rd September 2016Rarely asked questions - Kerry Godliman
I first spotted Kerry Godliman over a decade ago when she was in a short-lived Evening Standard-sponsored comedy competition. Greg Davies - whatever happened to him? - won, but I was impressed by Godliman's cheery, accessible everywoman brand of feminism.

British Comedy Guide, 28th June 2016Review: Jack Dee's Referendum Helpdesk, BBC2
Nobody seems to have told the person that did the opening credits for this comedy version of Question Time that it is about the EU. Instead subject titles such as "relationships" and "money"Romesh Ranganathan rolled past as if our host, serial cynic Jack Dee, was any old agony aunt.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 14th June 2016Opinion: mainstream v alternative - is the gap closing?
We live in interesting times for comedy. I never thought I'd see Sara Pascoe on The Graham Norton Show. Maybe the gap is closing between what we describe as alternative and what we describe as mainstream. Maybe one of the legacies of Comedy Vehicle is that it did attract comedy fans to more cerebral notions of the nature of comedy. Sadly not enough for BBC2's beancounters.
