High & Dry review
If you were to think of the worst person to be stuck on a desert island with, Marc Wootton's latest grotesque would be hart to beat.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 4th May 2018Grumpy Old Women To The Rescue review
Everyone's bonding together in a 'mums' night out' spirit, free to say what they really think. If that sounds like your idea of a good night, the GOW will hit the spot like a chardonnay with pals. Their 'sod it' honesty is almost empowering, a manifestation of grey pride.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 29th April 2018Roy Chubby Brown review
Approaching my first ever live Chubby gig last night, I fully expected to be as repulsed as I had been by seeing the truly unpleasant and peculiarly charmless Bernard Manning in all his creepy flesh. And I wasn't. At least not here.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 27th April 2018Joe Bor: A Room With A Jew review
So amiable though he is, this is a show that is decidedly lightweight, suffering a paucity of inspiration and direction.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 26th April 2018Morgan & West: Time Travelling Magicians
While many magicians are trying to reinvent their art as burlesque or something darker, Morgan and West present - as might be expected from their premise - a fairly traditional, family-friendly magic show. Albeit one with elegant flourishes and an engaging humour.

Steve Bennett, Chortle, 25th April 2018Review: The Taylors and Censored
Radio 2's Funny Fortnight of comedy pilots kicked off last night with the most traditional of sitcom ideas: a clash of classes.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 24th April 2018The Awkward Silence: Bufo Bufo
For a strong blend of comedy and action with a well-realised cast of fascinating oddballs, the Awkward Silence are speaking volumes.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 23rd April 2018Cunk on Britain preview
The only thing that doesn't quite come off are the spoof interviews don't quite come off, as experts have wised up since the day of Ali G and now seem in on the joke, matching Cunk awkward silence for awkward silence.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 3rd April 2018Dave Allen At Peace review
Acting talents aside, you won't learn much about such an important figure in British and Irish comedy from watching this indifferent drama.
