Steve Bennett, Chortle, 11th November 2021Simon Amstell: Spirit Hole - review
The show mixes outrageous stories with insightful thoughts and barbed wit, simultaneously self-lacerating and superior. And since it has a strong thematic skeleton, there's a satisfying arc, as the vanities and insecurities fade away and Amstell finds himself growing up at the age of 41.

Steve Bennett, Chortle, 5th November 2021Ahir Shah: Dress review
Ahir Shah is one of the most astute stand-ups around, so he's well aware of the pitfalls of basing a show on the past 18 months, in which we've all observed the exact same things and are in no rush to have some comedian remind us of them.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 4th November 2021Beat The Frog World Series Final 2021 review
This year's 'world series' final of Manchester's Beat The Frog new act challenge was a game of two halves. Before the interval the crowd were subdued, not even giving compere Danny McLoughlin's quick-witted ad libs the laughs they deserved; afterwards they were reenergised, and the comedians sharper too. Which is cause and which is effect is open to debate.
