The Nightly Show with Dermot O'Leary: final week review
The Nightly Show started out as train-wreck telly in which the (entirely unintentional) crashes, bangs and wallops never ceased. But as ITV's disastrous 10pm chat-fest entered the final week of its first (and presumably only) season it had achieved a dreary variety show competency.

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.

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.
