Matt Lucas book review
'Maybe I'll work with Walliams again one day; maybe I won't. I'm aware that people would like us to reunite. I respect that. I know that such a relationship is a rare thing indeed. I also wonder if it might be best left where it was.'
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 25th October 2017Bounty Hunters review
Some of the issues are surely down to the establishing work the first episode has to do. So it's a good sign that after it airs you'll want to see what happens in part two. On that score, at least, job done.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 25th October 2017Jack Whitehall At Large review
But with both this special and Travels With My Father, on Netflix, and the clear transatlantic appeal of his new Sky comedy Bounty Hunters, maybe that longed-for Stateside success won't elude him for long.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 24th October 2017The Death of Stalin: review
He's tackled the political machinations in Westminster and Washington, so perhaps the Kremlin was the next logical step.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 22nd October 2017Mark Thomas review
His passion and the sense of communion he brings are compelling, as he's got to the stage where he and his audience share an intimacy, almost, not just political values.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 19th October 2017Mark Thomas: A Show That Gambles On The Future review
In the cumbersomely-titled A Show That Gambles on the Future, he coasts on that a bit. But Thomas coasting is better than most comics full-throttle, which has to make this scathing night out worth a punt.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 19th October 2017Ivo Graham: Educated Guess review
The writing is top-notch, packing in gags and inventively wry turns of phrase, some almost slipped in under the radar.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 18th October 2017Ed Byrne: Spoiler Alert review
'Spoiler alert' is a phrase that was once on the zeitgeist, now in the mainstream - a perfect title for a show from a man who is himself slipping into middle-aged, middle-class conformity.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 17th October 2017Gameface preview
It's probably impossible to review Roisin Conaty's Gameface without mentioning the F-word: Fleabag.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 12th October 2017How To Be Champion by Sarah Millican - book review
Sarah Millican's first book falls partway between biography and self-help guide. You sense that she's a modest woman who feels a simple story of her life might be considered arrogant, so tempers those fears with a more altruistic purpose.
