Reviewer review: Molly Stewart (Giggle Beats)
Molly Stewart has only reviewed two Fringe shows so far, and one of them during its preview, so apologies if we're going off half-cock. But we are were very excited to have a Giggle Beater to reviewer-review; they don't come around very often.
Derwent Cyzinski, FringePig, 18th August 2015Preview: The Dark Room, Gorilla, Manchester
John Robertson - could-be cult leader and sinisterly grinning stand-up comic - brings his interactive, live-action video game The Dark Room to Manchester's Gorilla on the 24 July, peddling a dark and bizarre mele of improvised comedy, gaming and audience abuse. (Perhaps this is an adult's adult Funz and Gamez).
Molly Stewart, Giggle Beats, 20th July 2015Latitude Festival comedy review: Lazy Susan, Double Act
Sketch comedy duo Lazy Susan's act is more in the vein of a disjointed narrative play than a straightforward set of sketches.
Molly Stewart, Giggle Beats, 19th July 2015Latitude Festival comedy review: Liam Williams
The Guardian's favourite guy - or rather, as he keen to point out, a Guardian comedy reviewer's favourite guy - Liam Williams set out an hour of pessimism and alternately self-hating and society-hating tirades in the Cabaret tent.
Molly Stewart, Giggle Beats, 19th July 2015Latitude Festival comedy review: Gein's Family Giftshop
A smallish, hot and spaced-out (literally) audience at Latitude may not have been what it deserved, but Volume II is a worthy follow up.
Molly Stewart, Giggle Beats, 19th July 2015Latitude comedy review: Sexy American Girl Cousins
On stage there is something so huge, so space-filling (in this case, not actually that difficult): the uncomfortable feeling of the two on stage that builds between bursts of Miley Cyrus and Demetriou's jittery hip-grinding and genital-framing.
Molly Stewart, Giggle Beats, 19th July 2015Latitude festival comedy review: Stuart Bowden
Stuart Bowden's Before Us in the Cabaret tent was an immensely buoying, interactive story-telling mini-adventure of an angsty, lonely, last-of-his-species creature (clad in a ruched sleeping bag frock and - apparently - not much else).
Molly Stewart, Giggle Beats, 19th July 2015Latitude festival comedy review: Jason Byrne
So, it's true that Jason Byrne is a live comedian - and we should all keep supporting live comedy, famously. More so, his bounding on-stage persona would perhaps fit better even in a smaller tent than in the Comedy Arena: Byrne more than commands the space, but if seeing his live is so much better, seeing him perform to a tightly packed intimate audience might be the ultimate win.
Molly Stewart, Giggle Beats, 19th July 2015Latitude festival comedy review: The Bird
It's beautifully shot and produced. The film is dark, and sad in parts - in particular a shot of Julia Davis whistling flickeringly for the bird her desperate, deprived son has stamped out, teary mascara running down her face - but the sturdy roster of comedy talent behind the film ensure there are enough bleak laughs and grim smiles raised.
Molly Stewart, Giggle Beats, 19th July 2015Latitude festival comedy review: Pierre Novellie
Somewhere recently I read Pierre Novellie described as 'a great big bear of a comedian', which... is probably fairly accurate.
