Review - Tommy Cooper: Not Like That, Like This, ITV
Entertaining if unilluminating biopic about the comedian.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 22nd April 2014Festival of the Unspoken Nerd, Udderbelly, review
The threesome perform with gusto and you can learn lots of fun stuff.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 18th April 2014Jack Whitehall, O2 Arena review
Decent storyteller who needs more convincing material.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 18th March 2014Review: Miranda Hart, O2 Arena
Hart is an undeniably warm performer who held the O2 in her thrall and most of the audience thoroughly enjoyed the show. But just as I thought I might be suffocated by her lack of ambition and blandness, Hart pulled a masterstroke; she left the stage as a 10-minute, tightly edited film that tied up all the show's strands in a series of well executed gags was played on the big screens. It gains the third star.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 14th March 2014The Michael McIntyre Chat Show review
This show was trailed by a BBC announcer saying, "Stepping into the shoes of the chat-show greats..." but on the evidence of this first outing Michael McIntyre is good at being chirpy and making slurping noises, but not much else.

Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 6th February 2014Review: Aisling Bea, Soho Theatre
Young Irish actress and comic Aisling Bea made a tremendous debut with C'est la Bea at last year's Edinburgh Fringe, where she was deservedly nominated for best newcomer in the Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Awards. Now she is performing a short run at the Soho Theatre in London and, on second view, it's still a joyously funny show.
Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 31st January 2014Review: Tommy Tiernan, Soho Theatre
Tommy Tiernan delivers a riveting 80 minutes of comedy that's a sort of state-of-the-nation address about his home country.
