Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 3rd February 2021Mel Giedroyc: Unforgivable review
In Unforgivable, Mel Giedroyc's been saddled a format that she doesn't even have much confidence in, the needlessly complex negative scoring, unnecessary gong, and convoluted rounds becoming a running joke even from episode one. But ignore all that hoo-ha and this is essentially a chat show stripped back to the good bits. Guests can forget plugging the latest project or telling us what a delight their co-stars were. Just tell the entertaining and embarrassing stories from your past.

Funny Women, 23rd October 2020Greenwich Comedy Festival with Josh Widdicombe review
Residents of Greenwich in South London have become used to a giant marquee popping up in the grounds of the historic National Maritime Museum each September, attracting the cream of comedy to the borough's comedy festival. This year it's different - because everything is.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 25th September 2020Live review: Greenwich Comedy Festival
I've been to all sorts of comedy shows in the last few months, but this one seemed to be the best. Maybe it's because Greenwich Comedy Festival gigs always have an al fresco vibe as they are usually in marquees. Maybe I just needed a laugh more than ever. Or maybe the acts were just excellent and that's what a comedy gig needs most of all.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 25th September 2020How to have an alternative August
Whilst I completely understand how challenging and mentally draining it must be for comedians to create material at this moment in time, the reason why many online comedy fans may be opting for alternative comedians is perhaps because it is too early for audiences to hear jokes about Covid-19, as we're still in the thick of it and to be frank, audiences want some escapism.
