Noel Fielding

Radio Times review

After the summer reunion rekindled interest in all things Pythonic, Gold has now enticed celebs into choosing their favourite sketches for a nightly five-part series. Tonight, Tracey Ullman plumps for the Montys in drag rolling about in mud on a hillside (Batley Townswomen's Guild Presents the Battle of Pearl Harbor), while Noel Fielding celebrates the genius of one joke repeated, in The Kilimanjaro Expedition.

Jim Carrey, meanwhile, prostrates himself before the Pythons, or as he calls them the "Super Justice League of comedy", and recalls the effect on him of Ernest Scribbler: Michael Palin's man who laughs himself to death. You'll see why immediately: Palin's performance is uncannily Carreyesque.

Tomorrow night, wordsmith Stephen Fry selects Argument Clinic (oh yes he does) and there's more cross-dressing: Hell's Grannies, chosen by Eddie Izzard.

Review: An evening with Noel Fielding

The first half was the funnier but also a little messy, a mixture of stand-up that strives (at times a bit too hard) for the strange, while laying down the beginning of an overarching plot. Part two - based around the idea that Noel has been kidnapped - shows that he is more than capable of making the most of audience interaction, before wrapping things up with a slice of hipster pantomime.
