British Comedy Guide, 27th February 2020Jack Tucker review: anti-comedy feels overfamiliar
Jack Tucker, we can all agree, is a terrible comedian. He comes on full of desperate energy, with wacky sound effects punctuating his every punchline. He spends the next hour spilling his drinks, falling over, eyeing up the ladies, overselling humdrum routines about aeroplane food, loudly celebrating when one gag calls back to an earlier one. With his comically chewy New York accent, he calls a bird a "boid". With his lisp, he makes "sitting down" sound like "shitting down". He's a disaster. A propulsive disaster, occasionally an endearing disaster, but still, deliberately, a disaster.

"I made such a consistent streak of good decisions."
Blizzard Comedy, 19th January 2020The top ten comedy gigs of 2019
As is tradition, here's my look back at the ten most memorable comedy gigs of the last 12 months. There are bound to be omissions - the 300 or so shows I see each year are but a scratch on the volume of work the UK's industrious comedy scene produce - and the emphasis is on the 'memorable' not necessarily the funniest or the most game-changing, even if these qualities are so often interlinked.
