Vir Das: The Boarding Das World Tour review
That might mean a few more tweaks till he gets there, but he's got all the makings of a mainstream global comic.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 28th September 2017The Pact preview
There are probably funnier shows in this year's batch of BBC comedy pilots, but few as watchable as this.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 27th September 2017Milton Jones is Out There review
Do we really need another idiot with stupid hair setting out what they would do if they ruled Britain? That's the question Milton Jones asks in his new tour.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 25th September 2017Review - Phill Jupitus: Juplicity
Not so much about the big laughs (although there are a handful), but instead a most hospitable evening of good-natured craic, affable anecdote and a few poetic party-pieces.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 23rd September 2017Book review: How Not To Be A Boy by Robert Webb
Primarily it's an entertaining story, sometimes powerful and sometimes polemic, of a man trying to figure himself, and society, out.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 22nd September 2017Jack Whitehall: Travels With My Father review
Michael's intransigence and Jack's baiting of his dyed-in-the-wool views make for plenty of funny moments.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 22nd September 2017Porters: preview
Dave has only dipped its toe in the water with a commission of three episodes, but the results from this test are back - and the prognosis for Porters is definitely good.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 20th September 2017Bad Move: preview
Bad Move is definitely not The Good Life, since Steve and Nicky can't do anything for themselves (and don't want to grow any veg). But it feels even safer than the 1970s sitcom: a couple of enjoyably wry lines and photogenic scenery barely enough to warrant a return visit.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 20th September 2017W1A series three preview
There are moments in W1A that are almost too agonising to watch. The circuitous meetings of the BBC's directionless yet ironically named Way Ahead group so accurately replicate the prevarications of real corporate life that you can feel the knuckle-gnawing frustration from your own sofa.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 18th September 2017Nathan Caton: The Pursuit Of Happiness review
Had he been a decade older, Nathan Caton's lot at this stage in his career would probably have been to be a decent circuit comic, with a dependable 20 minutes and a full diary.
