James Kettle, The Guardian, 17th October 2014Radio Times review
"It's just like Live at the Apollo isn't it?" No, it's not, and that's the point. Far from the shiny floors of Hammersmith, deep in the basement of Edinburgh's Stand Comedy Club, this is more chaotic and much closer to attending an actual night of live stand-up with the likes of Tony Law, Bridget Christie and Kevin Eldon.
Except it's not, it's a TV show, and that's also the point. Despite some smart backstage interviews with Stewart Lee, the bill of not-quite-household names never let you forget it's all a wee bit fake: obsessing over catchphrases, lighting rigs and the other trappings of stand-up on TV. It's all very self-referential and very, very funny. As the dawdling Paul Foot puts it: "This sort of thing I'm doing now, it entertains people, but it's catastrophic for television. I am committing career suicide."
