Opinion: comedies that were pulled earlier than planned
If Host The Week has been axed by Channel 4 after one episode, as has been reported, it joins a very select band of television comedies that were pulled earlier than planned.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 27th June 2017Robin Ince interview
I have been researching imposter syndrome recently and it is interesting to find out that it is not universal.
Sarah Daniell, The New Zealand Herald, 24th March 2017Robin Ince on his return to stand-up
It is almost two years since I offered my resignation from the world of stand-up from a hotel room in Brisbane. The crack showed after the first year, when Professor Cox asked if I fancied joining him on tour in Australia and The UK.

Robin Ince, The Big Issue, 24th January 2017Review: Slapstick Festival, Colston Hall

It has its moments and, naturally, there's a "hilarious" Uranus pun. Robin Ince, Warwick Davis and Noel Fielding also star.
Andrew Mueller, The Guardian, 26th December 2016TV review: The Entire Universe
Noel Fielding as a shiny gold Bee Gee singing about gravity? That's just one of the many delights of this truly odd programme which mixes music, comedy and science in a way that has rarely been done before. The Sky At Night this ain't.
