Rich Pelley, The Guardian, 18th June 2019Review: Ellie & Natasia
This is a one-off, but if they can both find the time between other jobs and a few more new ideas this could be a series. There is certainly no shortage of comic talent on display.

Sarah Carson, i Newspaper, 10th June 2019Ellie & Natasia review
Sketch shows might have fallen out of favour with broadcasters, but Ellie White and Natasia Demetriou prove there's plenty of life in the format yet with this ridiculously bonkers offering.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 10th June 2019Fresh from her joyously vampy turn in What We Do In The Shadows, Natasia Demetriou reunites with Year Friends pal Ellie White for this inventive, silly sketch show, featuring mummy bloggers, eastern European nail technicians and one sketch so sinister it puts David Lynch to shame.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 17th April 2019Review: The Road To Brexit, BBC2
I didn't write about this Matt Berry one-off written by Arthur Mathews earlier because I assumed it would be postponed when Brexit was postponed. Instead it is going full steam ahead, so at least there is something to laugh about at the moment.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 26th March 2019Road To Brexit review
The one-off Road To Brexit is a bit of an oddity, as much funny peculiar as funny ha-ha; but with so much calamitous news surrounding our chaotic leaving of the EU, it's good to have a laugh that isn't dependent upon cynical views of the political shambles, and is simply just daft instead.
