The Miser review
The Miser certainly isn't tight-fisted with the laughs.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 13th March 2017Review: The Miser at the Garrick Theatre
Hits the contemporary spot: Amelia Forsbrook reviews Sean Foley and Phil Porter's adaptation of Molière.
Amelia Forsbrook, Exeunt Magazine, 13th March 2017Review: The Miser
'Comedy first, psychological insight later' is Sean Foley's take on The Miser, and indeed his production is fresh, funny and farcical. But maybe his cast can afford to relax a bit more - they're all excellent, after all.
What's On Stage, 13th March 2017The Miser at the Garrick Theatre review
A delightful feast of non-stop laughter. The two-and-a-half hour running time is not felt at all as every moment has something to offer.
Mersa Auda, The Upcoming, 13th March 2017Review: The Miser
A top-notch comedy cast are starring in The Miser at the Garrick Theatre in London's West End. Here is Sophie's review of the show...
Sophie Davies, The Velvet Onion, 13th March 2017The Miser review
An evening that is often very funny indeed, albeit one that certainly chooses immediate comic fizz and fervour over finesse.
Tom Birchenough, The Arts Desk, 13th March 2017Not Going Out review - Lee Mack's interminable comedy
It's unoriginal, unfunny and unapologetic about its retro roots. Why does anyone like this lukewarm sitcom?
Sam Wollaston, The Guardian, 21st January 2017"It's much better, innit, the old music," muses the Not Going Out star during this oddly shapeless set from the Hammersmith Apollo; and it feels heartfelt. Mack, in shtick and delivery a leery, audience-baiting Redcoat, isn't so much a throwback as a 70s re-enactment society, riffing on "big fat lasses", inbred yokels and the Irish. Still, if any gag fails to land (and there are some good one-liners here), at least "I do them with enthusiasm".
Ali Catterall, The Guardian, 20th January 2017Preview - Not Going Out
I've always enjoyed Not Going Out - probably because I like Lee Mack, so the return of the series was met with trumpets and fanfare at Chez Hargreaves. But that was before I realised that the new series includes kids.
Gareth Hargreaves, On The Box, 13th January 2017Not Going Out: the family sitcom?
Whilst I didn't find much to enjoy/laugh about in these opening episodes you can never count out Not Going Out. It had faced adversity many a time and coming bouncing back and at time when BBC comedy mainly consists of Still Open All Hours, Citizen Khan and Mrs. Brown's Boys perhaps I should just shut up and enjoy it.
