Review: we don't understand how Sam Simmons won Fringe
A hearty portion of Sam Simmons's shtick is acting out the things that 'shit him'. Charging around a stage festooned with props, the screwball comedian demonstrates how shop assistants who make point of looking away when you type in your pin shit him; how twisted extension cords shits him; how books of cute cats which are now all dead shit him.
Will Noble, Londonist, 25th September 2015Tom Parry: The least cynical comedian on the circuit?
Yellow T-Shirt isn't merely clowning around though; Tom Parry delights with staunch opinions on fancy dress (large surface area, he maintains, is the key to a winning costume), and produces a hilarious hand signal you'll be aching to use on the next person who pisses you off -- all the while wearing a huge ear-to-ear grin.

Will Noble, Londonist, 24th April 2015How Ernie Wise (almost) made the UK's first mobile call
This week marks the 30th anniversary of the first ever (civilian) mobile phone call made in the UK. The call was made from London's St Katharine Docks on 1 January 1985, via the Vodafone network, by comedian Ernie Wise. The patronage of Little Ern may seem a little incongruous, but Wise had already done an ad for Atari with Eric Morecambe earlier that decade, and was already well-versed in hawking grey, clunky pieces of tech, for presumably a neat little pay packet.
Will Noble, Londonist, 29th December 2014Fylm School redefines the comedy setup
Simon Munnery has redefined the comedy setup. We don't mean the setup to a punchline: Munnery has redefined the setup of the actual room, to wit he hosts his entire current show Fylm School from where the sound desk usually is - broadcasting his crooked-toothed mug onto a screen onstage via camera.
