Review: Miles Jupp, Ambassadors Theatre, WC2

A show that is not totally revolutionary in various senses, perhaps, but all exquisitely delivered.

Miles Jupp interview

If you had to name a comic less likely to star in an imaginary remake of Men Behaving Badly, then Miles Jupp would possibly come to mind.

Rob Smyth, The Burton Mail, 6th March 2014

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.

Superb mix of personal and political material.

Radio 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.

Miles 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 2014

Miles 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 2014

Miles 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 2014

Miles Jupp, Ambassadors Theatre - comedy review

Miles Jupp's latest show is not totally revolutionary but is exquisitely delivered.
