Marcus Brigstocke: Why the Long Face? - review

Marcus Brigstocke is witty and entertaining, and this show has moments of genuine hilarity.

Jim Gillespie, The Reviews Hub, 8th December 2016

Another pixel-packed episode, with captains Sam and Steve joined by two standups from contrasting ends of the video-gamer spectrum: Marcus Brigstocke's favoured gaming tipple being multi-dimensional physics puzzler Portal 2, while Gina Yashere gave up around the time of Snake. The mismatched mirthmakers duly do battle, along with quite possibly the tensest Sonic 2 battle since the days of imperial phase Hadaway.

Review: Marcus Brigstocke hosts Prince Fest, Latitude

Marcus Brigstocke is as much a fixture of Latitude as the spray-painted pink sheep. But while it's usually his skills as an opinionated liberal-leftie comedian that are called into play, this year he drew upon a different talent: his previous job as a podium dancer.
