Cardinal Burns review

Many, many classy delights in a impressive, varied and well-executed show that dares to be different.

Review: Kevin Bridges at Latitude

Some of this material debuted at the Melbourne comedy festival earlier this year, but it's been tightened, tweaked and expanded â€" all work towards the next tour and DVD, no doubt.

Review: Marcel Lucont at Latitude

Alexis Dubus, the man beneath the black rollneck, writes plenty of artful, epigrammic one-liners for his self-centred alter-ago, intolerant of anything that fails to fall outside his narrow focus of how the world should be. And that includes children.

Review: Elliot Steel at Latitude

It’s a big booking for 17-year-old Elliot Steel, a virtual unknown taking a primetime slot in Latitude’s vast comedy tent.

Review: Cariad Lloyd and Louise Ford at Latitude

There are some splendidly inventive ideas in Cariad Lloyd and Louise Ford’s character show, getting a 40-minute run-through at Latitude before the polished version hits Edinburgh in a few days’ time.

Review: Tommy Tiernan at Latitude

Tiernan might have dropped more f-bombs in his first five minutes than in Quentin Tarantino’s entire ouvre, but he makes a convincing argument for why swearing is such an implicit, explicit part of the Irish tongue.

Review - Margaret Thatcher: Queen Of Soho

This loud, brash camp extravaganza has all the subtlety of a Trident missile, with bawdy double entendres and cheesy, prophetic asides loudly telegraphed and never knowingly undersold.

Review: Miles Jupp at Latitude

Jupp’s set did seem under-appreciated by this festival crowd, who tended to let sparkling lines wash gently over them, rather than reacting with the guffaws such brilliant writing deserved.

Review: Trevor Noah at Latitude

There are sometimes quieter moments in his routines â€" lulls you could even call them â€" but so compelling a presence is he that the audience nonetheless hold on his every word.
