Comedy Central Live review

Comedy Central might have had trouble attracting punters to its first live festival - surely not helped by the fact it would have initially cost £90 to see a day's stand-up, a price subsequently slashed to £20, or a tenner if you went on Groupon - but they had no such problem attracting the top-notch acts.

Ashley Davies, Metro, 3rd October 2018

Return of the series where comedians Joel Dommett and Nish Kumar wring laughs out of visiting places populated by people who are far tougher than them. First up, the Peruvian Andes, where the duo prove to be rubbish porters and are strangely reluctant to impale themselves on cacti.
