It's easy to envisage a TV career for this sharp. savvy and affable comic.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 4th March 2020Review: Jeremy Hardy Speaks Volumes

With the Only Fools musical and now Upstart Crow, are sitcoms slowly taking over London's West End?
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 18th February 2020Privates: A Sperm Odyssey review
They're not exactly complex characters, but with lively, anarchic performances, knockabout chemistry and silly voices, there's a touch of The Goon Show to the whole proceedings.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 17th February 2020Olga Koch: If/Then review
While the show comes more from Koch's insight and logic than it does from her soul, there is nonetheless plenty of food for thought given a droll, amusing commentary.
