Edinburgh Fringe: 10 comedians as seen on Taskmaster
You could well argue that this lot don't need the extra publicity, but here goes anyway!
Chortle, 25th July 2024Ghosts star Kiell Smith-Bynoe on why sitcoms stopped being funny
The actor and comedian on TV's comedy crisis, the legacy of 'platty joobs' and his unlikely new turn as a Great British Sewing Bee host.
Ed Cumming, The Telegraph, 14th May 2024The Government Inspector review
Five-star cast grapples with third-rate script.
Will Noble, Londonist, 10th May 2024The Government Inspector review
The second half is marginally better than the first, in that it felt shorter, but too many narrative strands are left hanging.
Chris Omaweng, London Theatre 1, 10th May 2024The Government Inspector review
This production is a jolly, pacy, humpsti-bumpsti jaunt. Nothing is wrong with humpsti-bumpsti jaunts, but Gogol wrote something rather more important than that.
Chris Lilly, The Reviews Hub, 10th May 2024The Government Inspector review
Kiell Smith-Bynoe shines in this underwhelming farce.
Henry Longstaff, Longstaff Reviews, 10th May 2024The Government Inspector review
Sadly, this old-fashioned farce feels as relevant today as it was when first penned, as we observe overt corruption, bribery and influence at play by those who brandish the power, with little or no regard for those whom it impacts most.
Cara Brazier, West End Best Friend, 9th May 2024The Government Inspector review
These energetic comic performances hold together this shallow take on Gogol's absurd satire.
Dave Fargnoli, The Stage, 9th May 2024The Government Inspector review
Gogol purists may come away mulling over questions of power, delusion, or some other impressive profundity. But everyone will leave with a face aching from grinning.
Lucinda Everett, What's On Stage, 9th May 2024The Government Inspector review
The issues with this production go beyond the script.
