Steve Hughes Live

Steve Hughes interview

Friday 24th February 2012

We're on the verge of World War 3, human rights are often evil and - most shockingly - the Daily Mail possibly isn't. These are the ravings of Steve Hughes - strap in for the sweariest Circuit Training interview yet!

Owen O'Neill Live

Owen O'Neill interview

Friday 27th January 2012

He's been on Conan and Letterman, written scripts for Danny Boyle and Christian Slater, acted alongside Liam Neeson and won awards as a budding director - inside the curious career of Owen O'Neill.

Tiffany Stevenson Live

Tiffany Stevenson interview

Tuesday 20th December 2011

She popped up in several star-laden sitcoms and is now reaping the rewards of a stint on reality TV. Time to talk turkey with Tiffany Stevenson...

Paul Provenza Live

Set List's Paul Provenza interviewed

Saturday 19th November 2011

Widely blamed for fatally wounding US drama Northern Exposure, Paul Provenza went and showed 'em by making a surprise hit of dirty-mouthed doc The Aristocrats. Now he's bringing Set List to Soho, and scaring the bejeezus out of Britain's best comics.

Sean Hughes Live

Sean Hughes interview

Tuesday 8th November 2011

What do teen heart-throbs do when they reach middle-age? Whatever they fecking well feel like doing. Here Hughes talks Sean's Show, Buzzcocks, drugs, drink, Hicks and his actively-unsexy new live hour, plus a gentle dig at a couple of comedy untouchables.

Dave Gorman Live

Dave Gorman interview

Monday 10th October 2011

Hugely popular across myriad comedic outlets, Dave Gorman also gets some stick for his part in the rise of lecture-style stand-up. Not that he ever did lecture-style stand-up, apparently...

Tom Stade Live

Tom Stade interview

Thursday 29th September 2011

Once tipped for big-time US TV success, Tom Stade ended up co-writing the infamous Tramadol Nights after numerous neglected years on the UK circuit. So is he, like Frankie Boyle, still being horrid about Jordan's offspring?

Michael Smiley Live

Michael Smiley interview

Wednesday 14th September 2011

Thrust into thespianism by Simon Pegg and Spaced, Michael 'Tyres' Smiley has been flexing those acting muscles with Luther and now Kill List. So why won't his award-winning wife work with him?

Jay Foreman Live

Jay Foreman review

Saturday 27th August 2011

Clearly a talented chap, Jay Foreman's future looks very promising indeed.

Men of War. Image shows from L to R: David Schaal, Stephen Harvey, Cariad Lloyd, Gareth Kane Live

Men Of War review

Saturday 27th August 2011

You come away wondering what on earth possessed them to pitch up at this Portakabin for a month with such a patchy show.

David O'Doherty presents: Rory Sheridan's Tales of The Antarctica Live

David O'Doherty presents: Rory Sheridan's Tales of The Antarctica review

Friday 26th August 2011

Rory Sheridan's Tales of The Antarctica is anything but a vanity project, and David O'Doherty's has crafted a splendid tale of tundra-based derring-do.

The Horne Section. Alex Horne Live

Horne Section review

Friday 26th August 2011

The Horne Section is one of the more elaborate events enlivening Edinburgh's twilight hours this year.

Andrew Maxwell Live

Andrew Maxwell review

Wednesday 24th August 2011

Impressively funny, thoughtful stuff, told from the perspective of a chap coming to terms with getting older.

Ed Reardon. Christopher Douglas Live

Ed Reardon: A Writer's Burden review

Wednesday 24th August 2011

This stage offshoot of Ed Reardon's Week is an autobiographical dawdle through the ups and downs of a lengthy literary career.

Lee Camp Live

Lee Camp review

Wednesday 24th August 2011

Lee Camp clearly misses the whoops and cheers that probably greet his diatribes back home.

Simon Donald Live

Simon Donald review

Wednesday 24th August 2011

A mixed bag of anecdotes and characters, from the witty to the wearisome.

Matt Green Live

Matt Green review

Monday 22nd August 2011

Matt Green's show is a well-judged hour, if a little light on big laughs.

Ben Verth Live

Ben Verth review

Monday 22nd August 2011

This show won't change your life - unless you're an occultist who's already wavering - but a free hour with Ben Verth is very much worth your while.

Bob Downe. Mark Trevorrow Live

Bob Downe review

Saturday 20th August 2011

Compellingly camp Aussie crooner Bob Downe has been away from the Fringe for four years, but absence clearly makes the heart grow fonder, and Bob go blonder.
