Steve Bennett, Chortle, 30th December 2015Stewart Lee: The Sun gets a rise out of me

Will Noble, Londonist, 9th September 2015Review: Richard Herring's Leicester Square Podcast
Richard Herring's latest podcast comes complete with an elephant in the room. Unless I missed it his interview with Bridget Christie doesn't contain any mention of her "fictional husband", aka Herring's comedy partner Stewart Lee.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 5th September 2015Comedian of the month #19: Eleanor Tiernan
