Jazz Emu review

Jazz Emu surely deserves a knighthood for his contribution to musical comedy.

Steve Bennett, Chortle, 10th June 2024

A Comedy Tribute To Andy Smart review

Without him around, the world of comedy is a lot quieter, too.

Tom Greaves review

Fudgey is a fine, and somewhat sympathetic, character study of the privileged upper-middle-class ruling classes.

Rik Mayall: Panglobal Phenomenon review

Inspired by punk, he was always seeking to be subversive, which, it is clear, meant not worrying too much about finesse while embracing mistakes.

Josh Pugh: Existin' La Vida Loca review

His forte is the apparently trivial observation, made absurd.

Morgan Rees: Turning Thirsty review

It's a funny act-out that tops a night of solid stand-up from a man with a catalogue of amusing observations about setting into who he is in life, warts and all, occasionally sprinkled with dick jokes.

Otto Kuhnle review

Imagine all the oddball variety acts from Britain's Got Talent rolled into one, and you'll have a good idea of what ridiculous entertainment former Malcolm Hardee Award-winner Otto Kuhnle is offering.

Baron Fortitude: Victorian Rapper review

One thing the alter-ego of comic Luc Valvona does bring to the party is historical accuracy.

Inside No. 9: The Trolley Problem review

It's enough to say this is one of the pair's more darkly dramatic pieces. There's very little comic relief to relieve the ratcheting tension - an absurdly out-of-place reference to a certain national treasure notwithstanding - which will have you guessing till the end, certain only that this pressurised encounter is not likely to end well.

A Mundane Slide-Show Trilogy review

There's no danger of Neil Davidson's show falling foul of the advertising standards people. This is pure anti-comedy, in which a benign, amiable middle-aged bloke prattles gently on about his day-to-day life, no matter how boring, nor without much care for where any of it might be going.
