Miles Jupp is the Chap You're Thinking Of - review
There are one or two sections that feel like filler, but this is a sharp and smartly structured show that should ensure Miles Jupp is the chap everyone will soon be talking of.

A brief profile of Miles Jupp.
The Independent, 15th February 2014Review: Miles Jupp, touring
Superb mix of personal and political material.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 15th February 2014Radio Times review
Another enjoyable meander through the gripes of the rich and famous. The temptation is for celebrity guests to overstate their bugbears. Are sliding doors truly "an abomination", Miles Jupp? Is there really "nothing worse" than people with limp handshakes, Kelly Hoppen? But Frank Skinner always has a nice way of either undercutting the grumbles or trumping them with a funnier observation of his own. ("Don't you find that litter can brighten an otherwise grey pavement?" he enquires of Vernon Kay.)
The host also has viral video clips at his fingertips that are worth the price of admission on their own: tonight, the classic moment when a sleeping commuter is swept aside by sliding train doors, plus a man doing the washing up overreacts to a shock from his daughter.
Gill Crawford, Radio Times, 14th February 2014Miles Jupp Is The Chap You're Thinking Of, review
A master of metaphor, a seigneur of similes (for Jupp leaving the old school MySpace site would be like "Julian Assange popping out of the Ecuadorian Embassy to the local shop to buy memory sticks"), Jupp's return to the 'eloquent bumbling' he honed in his earlier Edinburgh Fringe shows is a welcome one.
Julian Hall, The Independent, 13th February 2014What happened when a journalist & a stand-up swapped
Heard the one about the Guardian journalist and the standup comedian who swapped places? When feature writer Stephen Moss and comic Miles Jupp briefly stepped into each other's shoes, did anything funny emerge?
Stephen Moss and Miles Jupp, The Guardian, 12th February 2014Miles Jupp Is The Chap You're Thinking Of, review
Some of the subject matter might be familiar, but Miles Jupp's deadpan delivery turns this stand-up show into a very British tour-de-force.
Andrew Marszal, The Telegraph, 12th February 2014Miles Jupp - review
His suitcase gags are cute, but this show goes from strength to strength as Jupp finds subjects worthy of his moral outrage.
Brian Logan, The Guardian, 12th February 2014Miles Jupp, Ambassadors Theatre - comedy review
Miles Jupp's latest show is not totally revolutionary but is exquisitely delivered.
Bruce Dessau, Evening Standard, 12th February 2014The delicious In and Out of the Kitchen has returned for a third series, featuring once again the ups and downs of the waspish cookery writer and broadcaster Damien Trench (Miles Jupp), whose great expectations are perennially, and hilariously, thwarted.
In the first episode, our hero is up for an award for his radio documentary, Poets and Their Palates. Unable to persuade his partner Anthony, or anyone else, to accompany him, he ends up taking his mother (Selina Cadell), who becomes the focus of a leering French author.
Trench is already a classic comedy character, quietly aspiring to high-flying media sophistication while everything and everybody conspires to bring him down to earth with a bump. Jupp's beautifully judged writing and pinched delivery are a joy.
