The reasoning behind this female-only special seems spurious, but there's no denying the talent. Sara Pascoe and Roisin Conaty feature, but perhaps most exciting is US comedian Michelle Wolf, fresh from her Trump-baiting triumph at the White House correspondents' dinner.

Deceptively smart observations on gender and politics.
Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard, 21st December 2016Not so long ago, the idea of president Donald J Trump seemed the stuff of which surreal, grotesque, fantastical comedic riffs might be fashioned (indeed, Boyle did exactly that, on several, clearly fate-tempting occasions). In this recently recorded show, he and accomplices Sara Pascoe, Katherine Ryan, Michelle Wolf and Richard Osman face a daunting challenge now that it's about to be a reality.
Andrew Mueller, The Observer, 20th November 2016Review: Frankie Boyle's American Autopsy
Don't, of course, watch American Autopsy for definitive answers. This was recorded shortly after the vote and I suspect the panel was as shellshocked as the rest of us by the result. But everyone is good value and I suppose I should mention that it's excellent to have so many women on one show. But one final thought. I can't help thinking that when Frankie Boyle sounds like the voice of reason the world really has turned upside down.
