Sara Pascoe: Success Story review
From being booked to play Hugh Grant's birthday party to pretending to be a Pete Burns superfan for a reality TV series, Pascoe has a strong array of showbiz encounters to turn into jolly, self-effacing anecdotes, even if you might have heard her tell some of them in the media before.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 21st November 2022Jerry Sadowitz at the Eventim Apollo review
Those who think 'woke' to be a dirty word believe there's a huge, untapped market for offensive comedy that's been stifled by the politically correct elite. But for all the publicity garnered by Jerry Sadowitz's cancellation at the Edinburgh Fringe, the Eventim Apollo was barely a third full for what was billed as his biggest gig yet.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 16th November 2022Tim Key: Mulberry review
To call Mulberry a lockdown show would be to do it a great disservice. There are very few casual, clichéd references to Joe Wicks or sourdough here.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 10th November 2022Russell Kane review
He certainly has a spring in his step at being back on stage after performing was so cruelly taken away from him - and it's very infectious.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 7th November 2022The Horne Section TV Show review
Review of Alex Horne's attempts to escape from the Taskmaster's shadow...
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 3rd November 2022Scott Bennett: Great Scott review
Whatever his shortcomings at home, no such weaknesses are displayed on stage, as Bennett is a stand-up in fine control of his material, his delivery and his image, drawing on archetypes of hapless male behaviour without being totally defined by them.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 26th October 2022Friday Night Live review
What a week to bring back a partially topical comedy show!
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 22nd October 2022Simon Day and Friends review
Simon Day's fans are so dedicated they've copied his look, with plenty of bald middle-aged white men in the audience of Southampton's Stage Door venue.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 21st October 2022Jon Richardson: The Knitwit review
Richardson has such a well-defined persona of grouchy pedantry that even with this slight expansion of his comic horizons, The Knitwit can feel as safe as his risk-averse image.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 17th October 2022Dave Gorman: Powerpoint To The People review
'I like to play the long game,' Dave Gorman says during his latest show which is, indeed, hallmarked by elaborate callbacks to ideas you'd almost forgotten he'd raised so much earlier.
