Daniel Sloss: Now - The Lowry, Salford
He has a way to go if he is to achieve his desire of being regarded as an all-time comedy great by the time he is 45, but this driven, accomplished 27-year-old has the determination and the talent to make such a lofty ambition at least a possibility.
Paul Maguire, The Reviews Hub, 26th November 2017Mitch Benn: Don't Fear the Reaper review
Benn is an authentic comedian and musician whose pop parodies and patiches are original and humorous, but as Daniel Kitson may wryly observe, Benn is not as successful when he performs without the aid of his 'cheating stick'.
Paul Maguire, The Reviews Hub, 16th October 2017Dave Spikey - The Lowry, Salford review
If he ditches the derivative material and concentrates on his strengths, he would have a show to be proud of.
Paul Maguire, The Reviews Hub, 3rd June 2017Andy Parsons: Peak Bullshit - The Lowry, Salford review
Parsons has an easy, likable persona that serves him well throughout the entire ninety-minute set. He delivers his material professionally and is at his best when riffing with the audience, it is these relaxed ad libs that bring the biggest responses of the evening. His prepared material simply draws knowing chuckles, rather than full-on belly laughs, and the audience leaves merely satisfied rather than fully sated.
