Press

The first thing you noticed about the audience of professionals at The British Comedy Awards (LWT) was that none of them looked as if they were missing Saturday night TV. Also, surprisingly few of them were prevented from turning up by gainful employment.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 7th December 1992
