Promising pilot of comedy about middle-class parenting.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 7th September 2016Whose Line Is It Anyway?, London Palladium review
Anderson is an astute judge of when to buzz the end of a game.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 11th June 2016Review: David Baddiel
Funny and challenging show about his parents.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 4th June 2016Review: Julian Clary, touring
Filthy, funny chat from the 'renowned homosexual'.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 22nd May 2016Review: 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.

"I'm not writing Asian jokes for Asian people - I want everyone to enjoy them."
Veronica Lee, The Independent, 28th April 2016Review: Two Doors Down, BBC Two
This being sitcomland, nobody is allowed to be entirely normal.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 2nd April 2016Review: 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.
