Channel 4's Comedy Gala: the 10 best jokes
The best lines from Michael McIntyre, Katherine Ryan, Sean Lock and more.
Ed Power, The Telegraph, 8th June 2015Radio Times review
The sixth year of Channel 4's admirable fundraising drive for Great Ormond Street Hospital. If you're an avid and knowledgeable fan of any of these acts, this might not be the best environment in which to see them, since there are an awful lot to get through. But to take the temperature of live comedy right now and see who's at the top of their game or on the up, it's ideal.
The really big names are led by Alan Carr, Michael McIntyre and Jack Dee, with Aisling Bea, Sara Pascoe and Katherine Ryan among the others to look out for. Also on the bill is sharp, politically astute South African stand-up Trevor Noah, getting in a UK gig while he can before he takes over the hallowed Daily Show in the US.
Jack Seale, Radio Times, 7th June 2015Radio Times review
Simon Pegg, who went from hopeless, endearing sci-fi nerd Tim in the brilliant Channel 4 cult comedy Spaced to Hollywood megastar after Shaun of the Dead and Star Trek, takes his seat on the red sofa.
He will talk about his new romcom, Man Up, in which he stars with American actress Lake Bell as a mismatched couple who meet, in a case of mistaken identity, on a blind date.
In the comedy corner is Michael McIntyre at the start of his Happy and Glorious national tour, and you'd better smile like you mean it, because the Killers' frontman Brandon Flowers performs his solo single, I Can Change.

Daily Mail, 13th May 2015In a cracking special, comedian Michael McIntyre is presenting a whole host of variety in Michael McIntyre's Easter Night At The Coliseum.
Filmed at the majestic Coliseum in the heart of London's Theatreland, Michael will do his own brand of stand up, whilst also welcoming a stellar line-up of other comedians on stage too. He'll also be joined by singing superstars and jaw-dropping speciality acts.
Ella Henderson and Sia are two of the artists exercising their vocal cords, and Eddie Izzard and Bill Bailey will entertain us with some comedy. Catherine Tate's infamous Nan will also be stopping by to have her say.
Carena Crawford, Reveal, 5th April 2015Radio Times review
Variety is dead, apart from the several annual TV spectaculars that show it isn't. This one is fronted by cool people's least favourite stand-up, the superb Michael McIntyre, and takes place in a proper West End theatre.
Other comics on the bill include Eddie Izzard, Bill Bailey and, intriguingly given that she's no longer known for solo stage work, Catherine Tate. There's music from US star Sia and our very own Ella Henderson, and some magic, too: Mat Franco, who is getting people talking in the States, makes his UK debut.
