Press clippings

In Make Me Laugh (Tyne-Tees TV), a cheap and cheerful little series, stand-up comics try to get a laugh from studio volunteers. They rush in incoherent with false teeth, hurling large props at larger ladies, and, the last resort of the stand-up comic, falling down. Well, I liked it. I was equally entertained to see that this example of thigh-slapping slapstick needed, according to the credits, a Creative Consultant.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 9th April 1983
