7 comedians who deserve to break through in 2019
With 2018 now over, I look ahead to the next twelve months and pick out the seven comedians who I believe deserves to hit the mainstream in 2019.
Elliot Gonzalez, I Talk Telly, 1st January 2019Best live comedy shows of 2018
Let's face it, there was probably nothing funnier in 2018 than Plaid Shirt Guy's subtle critique of the US president over the Orange Man's very shoulder at a rally. But our comedy editor picks five acts who made a pretty good stab at lifting the gong for top live gig of the year.
Brian Donaldson, The List, 30th November 2018Review: Lauren Pattison: Peachy
She's unflappably optimistic with a hint of pragmatism; the result is a refreshingly honest show.
Louise Jones, The York Press, 22nd November 2018Lauren Pattison review
Pattison's two full-length shows have both been impressive calling cards, confirming that she is a talent to watch. Peachy is well worth seeing, but her next outing could be the one that really puts her on the map.
Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard, 7th November 2018Lauren Pattison review
In her new show, Peachy, Pattison perkily traces her efforts to be young, free and single while coping with mental fragility.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 7th November 2018Comedy Central Live review
Comedy Central might have had trouble attracting punters to its first live festival - surely not helped by the fact it would have initially cost £90 to see a day's stand-up, a price subsequently slashed to £20, or a tenner if you went on Groupon - but they had no such problem attracting the top-notch acts.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 6th October 2018Is comedy a Londoner's game?
Anyone who knows me knows that I love comedy. I've been to countless stand-up shows in Birmingham over the years and a fair few in Cardiff too since starting my degree. But one thing I have never done is see any form of live comedy at a venue in our country's capital: London.
