The charming Delaney takes a break from negotiating parental horrors on Catastrophe to return to the realm of standup, replacing Chris Ramsey as the compere of this comedy showcase. He has some solid guests this week: the razor-sharp Sara Pascoe and the morose moptop Tom Ward.
Gwilym Mumford, The Guardian, 17th October 2018Comedy Central Live review
Comedy Central might have had trouble attracting punters to its first live festival - surely not helped by the fact it would have initially cost £90 to see a day's stand-up, a price subsequently slashed to £20, or a tenner if you went on Groupon - but they had no such problem attracting the top-notch acts.

BBC, 9th February 201825 of the funniest quotes from Catastrophe
Before it returns for a fourth series later this year, here are 25 of its funniest quotes.
Alex Nelson, i Newspaper, 18th January 2018Our highest-placed British sitcom is Catastrophe which has seen creators and stars Sharon Horgan and Rob Delaney master the art of television writing. This superior third season saw TV's most likeable lead characters handed a more compelling trajectory than most drama series manage, with escalating life events involving parenthood, family deaths, and alcoholism dealt with in both hilarious and heartfelt manners. How the duo manages to convey an engrossing story amid the comedic antics is nothing short of sensational, positioning Catastrophe as a drama series that just happens to be filled with funny characters (including Rob's mother, Mia, played delectably by the late Carrie Fisher). A series to be preserved for future "this is how you do it" masterclasses.
