Funny and challenging show about his parents.

Review: Julian Clary, touring

Filthy, funny chat from the 'renowned homosexual'.

Review: Upstart Crow, BBC Two

David Mitchell, like all the cast, is superb, and his pedantic, sarcastic panel show persona works beautifully for the put-upon Will. Ben Elton's script is a gag-rich riot of clever comedy, the kind that has to be watched at least twice to appreciate all the jokes and references, the sight gags and throwaways. Complete joy from start to finish.

The Windsors, Channel 4, review

There's some mildly subversive satire in there if you look hard enough.

Review: Marcus Brigstocke, Soho Theatre

There's so much in the world that makes him righteously angry.

Adil Ray interview

"I'm not writing Asian jokes for Asian people - I want everyone to enjoy them."

Veronica Lee, The Independent, 28th April 2016

Review: Two Doors Down, BBC Two

This being sitcomland, nobody is allowed to be entirely normal.

Review: Jena Friedman, Soho Theatre

Jena Friedman has been doing some of this material in her club sets for a while, and the show itself debuted at last year's Edinburgh Fringe, so it was surprising that she referred to a crib sheet on the night I saw it.
