Mark Fisher, Lyndsey Winship and Brian Logan, The Guardian, 14th June 2019All the best Edinburgh Fringe previews in London
Don't get me wrong, I love Edinburgh, with it's Hogwartsy cobbles and granite grandeur, seeped in history and united by culture, heritage and a too-often-racist hatred of the English. But when it comes to the Edinburgh Festival, the major advantage of Edinburgh, that it's nowhere near London, becomes its major drawback for all of us keen to see some of the country's best comedy.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 26th May 2018BBC Comedy Shorts 2018 review
If the BBC's Comedy Shorts seasons is intended as a testbed for possible new series, the comedians in this year's class seem to have missed the email. For although one or two have repeat potential, none feel like pilots in the conventional sense. Rather they are self-contained short films, and all the more satisfying for that.

Helm is a very good actor though maybe this isn't a huge stretch for him.
