Veronica Lee, The Telegraph, 4th May 2015Interview: Nick Helm

James Kettle, The Guardian, 4th May 2015TV preview: Nick Helm's Heavy Entertainment, BBC3
Nick Helm fans may recognise the title of this show from a BBC Comedy Feed one-off a couple of years back. That show started with Helm emerging from the boot of an old car - very Vic Reeves Big Night Out - this one feels like a very different variety beast altogether.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 30th April 2015Nick Helm: the ultimate entertainer
As the British Comedy Award-winning star of Uncle unleashes his bombastic stand-up on TV in Nick Helm's Heavy Entertainment, we break down why he's the ultimate showman.
Ben Williams, Time Out, 30th April 2015Opinion: Comedy - as long as the price is right
I went to Angel Comedy Club in Islington last Thursday night because I'd heard Nick Helm was on. I didn't arrange to be on the guest list, I just turned up as a punter. And like a punter I was turned away because the gig was full.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 22nd March 2015The second series of the dark comedy charting the misadventures of downtrodden muso Andy (Nick Helm) and highly strung nephew Errol (Elliot Speller-Gillott) reaches its penultimate episode. Still unemployed and desperate for rent money, Andy does the logical thing and tries to worm his way into the will of dying Uncle Frank (Keith Allen). Sadly their reunion doesn't go to plan, as his abrasive relative wises up to his scheming. Could an appearance from Frank's estranged daughter bring the brood back together?

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 17th February 2015Nick Helm interview
Nick Helm talks about the return of Uncle - and why there's a lot of s**t on telly...
Frances Taylor, Digital Spy, 10th February 2015Carpet salesman and wannabe musician Andy (Nick Helm) has songwriter's block. He also has a restraining order to prevent any contact with his nephew after last series's inadvertent ecstasy consumption. But considering this is a sitcom centred on slacker Andy and nervy nephew Errol's unlikely friendship, this series two opener sees it continue regardless, the 13-year-old secretly visiting his uncle and helping him write one of the comedy musical numbers that usually punctuate the plot.
