Daphne review

Daphne also aren't afraid to play around with racial stereotypes given that -- for once -- this isn't comedy made by a bunch of white guys, which (for the mainly white audience) adds to that creeping sense of discomfort. In a good way. And in a funny way. Though you may walk out feeling slightly sensorily assaulted.

Joseph Morpurgo review

The laughs come from his magnificent sense of wordplay and keen observational skills.

Review: Joseph Morpurgo: Soothing Sounds for Baby

This is a damn fine show, one that we've seen bits of three times now; we'd just like a bit more of that dangerous glint, please.

Adam Riches: Quadruple Comedy Threat

Is this a thing now? Comedians doing their old shows, getting the gang (or, in this case, gags) back together for one last hurrah?

London-specific comedy from Andrew Maxwell

Comedian Andrew Maxwell is putting on a paean to London over the next few weeks with a show marking 20 years of his living in the capital, full of anecdotes and social commentary, plus special guests to add something a bit different.

Alternative Comedy Memorial Society review

Billed as a place where it's more important to try something new and interesting than be funny every time, that might prompt sighs and weary expectations of dodgy costumes, mime and deathly silence following a particularly flat gag. But founders and curators John-Luke Roberts and Thom Tuck are wiser than that.
