Tim Harding's comedy diary

Will Owen, working on his second show, is an interesting proposition in that his character on stage seems to want to be the archetypical obnoxious gay zoomer, but is too sweet, too earnest and too bashful to fully convince as this type of figure.

Tim Harding's comedy diary

If you write about comedy, it's not unusual for a publicist to turn down your request to review a show for one reason or another, but this is the first time I've had a request turned down because the show has too many good reviews already.

Tim Harding's comedy diary

I have a soft spot for the kind of productions that appear at this time of year: often loose, slightly boozy festive offerings that only make sense in an end-of-term context.

With a zingy, approachable tone, a certain Broadway slickness (there's even a 'Who's On First'-style routine added) and an obedient fidelity to the original script, it's unlikely to upset anyone, but part of Dr Strangelove's enduring power is in its originality, and there's none of that here. Plus Janine Harouni, Andy Barr and Bangmouth Village.
