Review: Pompidou, with Matt Lucas
Maybe Matt Lucas can take solace from the fact no one liked Paris's now iconic Pompidou Centre when it first opened. For his new physical-comedy namesake is not an obvious initial hit either.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 2nd March 2015Dara O Briain: Crowd Tickler review
This Southend gig is his first 'proper' UK date after an Irish run and a few warm-ups; and as he wraps up he talks of tweaks he intends to make. They will be minor. The strength of his affable personality makes for an unpretentious couple of hours of comedy in which the laughs flow as fast and fluidly as his pacy material.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 12th February 2015Review: Michael Mittermeier at the Soho Theatre
A couple of his routines are a little pedestrian, but overall Michael Mittermeier is a much sharper English-speaking comedian than when he first made his debut two-and-a-half years ago. More English-speakers should hear him.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 11th February 2015TV review: Asylum

This tour's title A Wee Ken To Remember, is based on yet another poster misprint that his hapless manager and next-door-neighbour Ken Worthington apparently failed to notice. Of course the limited horizons of Graham Fellows's alter-ego is the joke.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 10th February 2015Review - Dan Lees: Brainchild
Formerly half of musical comedy duo Moonfish Rhumba, Dan Lees's first solo show has him in the guise of a modern-day clown with a penchant for audience participation, roughly in the Dr Brown mould.

Graham is more adept at interpersonal contact than you might think from his own description;
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 9th February 2015The Keith Lemon Sketch Show review
Much of The Keith Lemon Sketch Show, possibly more than most comedy, might be down to personal taste.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 6th February 2015Review - Goodbye: The (After) Life of Cook & Moore
It's a bit of a mish-mash - odd since it's been around since the 2007 Edinburgh Fringe.
