British Comedy Guide, 23rd August 2022Hullraisers review
Female-led Channel 4 comedy is irreverent, but flawed.
Flora Carr, Radio Times, 13th April 2022Hullraisers review
As one female-led comedy with a distinctive geographical flavour launches its final series, another starts its first. Airing straight after the season three premiere of Derry Girls, Hullraisers follows three working-class women at various stages of their adult journey.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 12th April 2022Hullraisers sitcom series coming to Channel 4
Channel 4 has ordered Hullraisers, a sitcom series that "celebrates female talent, both on and off screen". Co-written by Lucy Beaumont, it focuses on three working class women living in Hull.
British Comedy Guide, 2nd July 2021This comedy about three friends trying to set up an assisted suicide business has its moments thanks to its talented cast. When it works, the mix of the dark, the absurd and the comic is very funny but crassness (maybe hard to avoid given the subject matter) sometimes gets in the way. Tonight Scott (Blake Harrison) falls for Julia (Laura Aikman), the daughter of his first client. Cozzo (Marc Wootton), meanwhile, has some explaining to do after his girlfriend (Sinéad Matthews) finds a stash of cash. The boys also help an old man find relief and a reason to live - which is not exactly part of their remit!
