Adrian Lobb, The Big Issue, 7th January 2020The best comedy of 2019
Another year has past and once again it's been a pretty amazing one for comedy across the board, and it's been hard to whittle each category down to a top 10. But here are our suggestions for the best tv, film and live comedy of the year, along with a couple of other lists as well.
Alex Finch, Comedy To Watch, 31st December 2019Best and worst of TV: 2019
Hits include Fleabag, Derry Girls and Sex Education, while misses include Channel 4's Alternative Election Night and Warren.
Adam Sweeting, The Arts Desk, 30th December 2019Euan Ferguson's best TV of 2019
Fleabag, of course, but also GameFace, Aisling Bea's This Way Up, Motherland - and that lovely, short sweet run, State Of The Union. Black Mirror as well, although too few episodes. There was sadcom too - don't forget Don't Forget The Driver, Defending The Guilty. And with Stath Lets Flats and Flack, we were laughing all the way until we suddenly stopped.
Euan Ferguson, The Guardian, 30th December 2019Opinion: 2019 - the year of the sadcom
At the head of the sadcom table comes After Life, the series Ricky Gervais made for Netflix that has been showered with acclaim. Just because it is about someone trying to get over the death of a loved one doesn't mean it doesn't have to be miserable throughout. And it is funny in parts. But is it a sitcom?

There was no escaping Phoebe Waller-Bridge's comedy this year. It transformed our porn habits, sent gin-in-a-tin sales soaring ... and then the Catholic church weighed in.
