Just the Tonic: Working From Home review
Some scrappy moments, but this is something special.
Dominic Maxwell, The Times, 8th March 2021TV review: Stand Up And Deliver, Part Two, C4
It was always going to be tough to top last week's hilarious, compelling opening episode in which five comics mentored five non-comics to prep them for a stand up gig, but this second show in which we see those gigs does a pretty good job. Stand by for more moments that you can only watch through your fingers.

Veronica Lee, The Arts Desk, 26th February 2021Stand Up And Deliver, C4 review
I don't know if the best celeb comic gets a prize, but Jason Manford deserves an award for patience above and beyond the call of duty.

British Comedy Guide, 26th February 2021Review: Stand Up And Deliver
The news that celebrities would be trying their hand at stand-up on TV was initially greeted with rumblings of discontent among some comedians. Why should these famous amateurs be given air time when established practitioners can barely work, was their understandable complaint.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 25th February 2021Stand Up & Deliver review
Five comedians mentor five celebrities - from a Tory peer to the Happy Mondays singer - in the art of live comedy for charity. Even when the jokes don't land, it's a laugh.
Rebecca Nicholson, The Guardian, 25th February 2021Stand Up & Deliver, review
Left-wing comedian Nick Helm coached Baroness Warsi for a Stand Up To Cancer special and they made a surprisingly delightful double act.
