Sketch Off! Final 2020 review

For a sketch comedy competition, there weren't a lot of sketch groups. Instead, the Leicester Square Theatre's Sketch Off! final last night was dominated by solo character acts - either wise to the fact that they won't have to share the usually meagre financial rewards of the genre by going it alone - or taking no chances by not performing within two metres of anyone else.

Live review: Peter Fleming - Have You Seen?

Over the years quite a few comedians have taken on the persona of an actor or director and made very funny shows out of the concept, but Tom Burgess has done something quite unique in his new show where he comes on stage as Peter Fleming, the creator of many a children's tv show like Professor Zany's Mad Laboratory, Nicholas The Mischievous Cupboard and Mrs Peregrine's Wingless Birds, all of which made me strangely nostalgic for a selection of television programmes which have never actually existed.
