Bang bang, he shot me down. Bang, bang, he hit the ground running. It was a joke offensive, a stream of mirthful mockery from the moment Tom Rosenthal took to the mic.

Comedy Blogedy, 14th December 2013Who better to host highlights from hotly tipped comics at the Edinburgh festival fringe than seasoned funnyman Seann Walsh? This selection features Tom Rosenthal (c]Friday Night Dinner], Plebs), a quirky comic whose travels in Bulgaria formed the basis of his 2013 show. There's also Aisling Bea, the Irish comedian who scooped last year's So You Think You're Funny? award, and the Rubberbandits, the Limerick troupe whose hilarious hip-hop antics are YouTube hits.
Hannah J Davies, The Guardian, 30th August 2013TV commissioners must breathe a sigh of relief when the Edinburgh Festival comes around, offering as it does an opportunity for cheap programming with mass appeal. This week offers two such easy wins. On Friday at 10pm, the ubiquitous Seann Walsh introduces the slightly edgier end of popular stand-up at in BBC Three's Late Night Comedy Spectacular, which showcases Tom Rosenthal and The Rubberbandits.
But two-parter Comedy Festival Live 2013 is a more mainstream affair, packed to the gills with familar faces from Mock the Week, Live at the Apollo et al: Jason Byrne, Russell Kane, Andrew Lawrence, Seann Walsh (again)... And all hosted by Kevin Bridges. At some point this televised stand-up bubble will burst. But not for a good while yet, it seems.
