Nick Thune review
Delivered deep and slowly, like an easy-listening radio DJ on the 3am shift, his stories burn slowly, but the fuse is extinguished before it leads to comedic dynamite.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 3rd February 2016An Evening with Brian Pern
As a shared celebration of a musical legend - real or not - An Evening with Brian Pern was an experience not to be missed.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 2nd February 2016Review - Gary Delaney: There's Something About Gary
For all the plentiful filth, Delaney's jokes are in a long music-hall tradition.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 29th January 2016Book review: The Actual One, by Isy Suttie
Bridget Jones was never quite like this...
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 29th January 2016Do Not Disturb review
Do Not Disturb is a perfectly serviceable hour of television, reasonably diverting, reasonably entertaining. But as a one-off you might expect something more of a landmark offering. In truth is you'd be better off with almost any episode of Frasier, for those guys REALLY know how to do great farce.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 27th January 2016Review - The Invisible Dot's Big Birthday Bash
They are the producers who have latched on to the more commercially viable, middle-class end of the alternative better than probably anybody else. And to celebrate how far they've come in seven years, The Invisible Dot have moved from their bijou studio home a Guardian's throw from Kings Cross to the 3,500+ seater Hammersmith Apollo for a Big Birthday Bash.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 26th January 2016Review - Eddie Izzard: Force Majeure Reloaded
Travel broadens the mind, so they say, but Eddie Izzard's centuries-spanning breadth of subject matter was already impressive, even before speeding his Force Majeure tour through 28 countries.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 22nd January 2016Morgan & West: Parlour Tricks
Their maths addiction reaches an apex when West's astounds with his mental gymnastics on a randomly-generated 40-digit number he commits to memory. This is the one time we do need some modern technology to check that the complex arithmetic is correct. And it's an impressive feat of brainpower when it is revealed to be so.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 21st January 2016Review: Comic Strip Presents... Red Top
Collusions between the top echelons of media and politics exposed by the phone-hacking scandal prove a treasure trove of inspiration for Comic Strip guru Peter Richardson.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 20th January 2016James Haslam: Life In A Goldfish Bowl review
Life In A Goldfish Bowl is an odd choice of title for cabaret performer James Haslam's solo show. It suggests he's the victim of unwanted public attention - but the tone of the show screams: 'Look at me!' And it screams it pretty camply, too.
