British Comedy Guide, 26th January 2018A new run for the news spoof based on the Onion-style website, the Daily Mash. Last time around, it struggled to find a tone. Avoiding the ruthless deadpan delivery of this genre's looming talisman, The Day Today, was understandable, but the material didn't benefit from a roaring studio audience and the excited corpsing of host Nish Kumar. Topical comedy is, however, immensely hard to get right first time, so another chance for The Mash Report and its hoststo bed in is to be cautiously welcomed.
