James Hamilton Is So Lonely review

In his first solo show, James Hamilton, has created an engagingly watchable character comedy narrative - albeit one which gets rather too bogged down in its convoluted storyline to produce too many laugh-out-loud moments.

John Dowie at the Poetry Cafe review

This is John Dowie's first gig in 14 years, and it's a low-key affair in the basement of a Central London poetry cafe.

No Such Thing as the News review

There's no such thing as a dull moment in BBC Two's new topical comedy No Such Thing As The News - a look behind the headlines presented by the 'elves' who research QI.

Daniel Kitson review

The biggest surprise, though, for those used to Kitson selling out in minutes, is why the Liverpool Everyman was only half-full last night; a clash with Liverpool FC's Europa League showdown with Sevilla notwithstanding.

David Baddiel - My Family: Not The Sitcom review

My Family: Not The Sitcom is, Baddiel says, the funeral speech for his mother that the Jewish faith doesn't entertain. And it also applies to his father, alive in body but departed in mind.

Lenny Henry's Rogues Gallery preview

There's more than a whiff of Tales Of The Unexpected about Lenny Henry's new radio series - and as a child of the 1980s, I'm sure he wouldn't want it any other way.

'David Baddiel - My Family: Not The Sitcom' review

David Baddiel's certainly got more outrageous stories to recall than most, and tells them in warmly witty style. I wish this show long life.

For Little Alan review

Party like it's 1994! The boys in the Pub Band are back together - and exploding into silliness.

Dave Bailey: Beige Against The Machine review

Bailey is, he readily confesses, a beta male - out of place in nightclubs but declaring himself to have a personality, unlike those who think an interesting hat or peculiar facial hair is substitute enough for that. Yet whet it comes to his material, you'd be quite hard-pressed to find much personality in that, either.

Best Boy review

Male double act Best Boy have a handful of excellent 'tentpole' sketches - most notably an enjoyably anarchic finale - but they prop up some pretty flimsy material in between.
