Natalie Palamides, Soho Theatre review
It's not often the publicity material for a comedy show has a health advisory attached: if you are allergic to eggs you may have to give Natalie Palamides' show Laid - which won best newcomer at the lastminute.com Edinburgh Comedy Awards at the Fringe in August - a miss, and that would be a shame.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 13th November 2017John Bishop, O2 review
veryman comedy with a hint of subversion.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 6th November 2017Kerry Godliman, Touring review
She's canny on the differences between "girl" friendships" and "bloke" friendships (or indeed man flu and woman flu), and the idiocy of the trend for adult colouring books; she also throws in some emoji jokes for good measure. This is standard fare for comics, but Godliman, nicely foul-mouthed when she wants to be, is caustic when required.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 20th October 2017Mat Ewins, Soho Theatre review
Multimedia show with twists in the tale.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 16th October 2017Ahir Shah, Soho Theatre - a bravura response to Brexit
Angry, passionate and political.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 27th September 2017Mae Martin, Soho Theatre review - life is a drug
Dry storytelling about an obsessional life.

Veronica Lee, The Telegraph, 29th July 2017Russell Brand review
The two-hour show is fast-paced and, at times, almost scattergun in its breadth of subject matter.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 30th June 2017Ricky Gervais, Touring review
You would think by now his trolls would know better than to take him on, but they don't. It's just material for his next show.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 12th May 2017Ayesha Hazarika, Soho Theatre review
What a day to open your political stand-up show, entitled State of the Nation, a few hours after Theresa May had announced a snap election. If Ayesha Hazarika needed any extra material, yesterday morning's events would certainly have supplied it.
