Latitude 2016: Luke McQueen review
Some comedians pretend to be completely unprepared, making a virtue of their lack of planning, before going on to deliver an effortless stream of humour that takes an audience with them and easily fills the time they have before their set ends. Some comedians appear completely unprepared because that's what they are. In his appearance at the Shed of Stories, Luke McQueen is so close to the latter, it is hard to believe it can be anything other than intentional.

Ryan Gilbey, The Guardian, 15th October 2015Video: Jack Whitehall surprises Luke McQueen on stage
Luke McQueen's Edinburgh Fringe show this year - Double Act - is based on the premise that he used to be in a comedy partnership with Jack Whitehall. The story McQueen tells is not entirely true... so it must have come as a bit of a shock to the comedian when the real Jack Whitehall appeared on his stage.
