David Baddiel: Trolls (Not The Dolls) review

This show is so funny that, for all the effluent that swills around the Twitter cesspit, it could encourage even the most reluctant among us to sign up. Like!

Bumps review

There are some tonal echoes of the recently-cancelled Scarborough in its ensemble cast, naturalistic acting and lower-middle-class coastal setting, especially the scenes set in an unpretentious pub.

Review: Kojo Anim Presents the Taxi Tour

He's too insubstantial and uncreative for my taste, but such things are rarely a barrier to superstardom if you're likeable. And that, Kojo most certainly is.
