Ari Eldjárn: Return of the Icelandic (2024)

For the last few months, a group of my friends has been getting together to watch stand-up. It all started with a '£2 Tuesday' night at 2Northdown, which went down incredibly well. Since then, we have caught shows fairly regularly,... Continue Reading →

Sean McLoughlin: New Stuff – Not a Review (2024)

One of the aims of this site has always been to extol the virtues of attending live stand-up comedy shows (honestly, it's literally in our 'About Us''). There's something unique about experiencing comedy in its rawest form - a room,... Continue Reading →

Ania Magliano: I Can’t Believe You’ve Done This (2024)

As I have mentioned on numerous occasions, I absolutely love the moment during a set when a clown changes the mood of a room in the blink of an eye. Intentionally taking an audience from riotous laughter to a silence... Continue Reading →

Phil Ellis: Phil Ellis’s Excellent Comedy Show (2023)

It has been quite a while since we last caught a show at the Soho Theatre, no real reason for this but as we walked through the doors it hit me just how much I'd missed it. There is a... Continue Reading →

London Hughes: One Night in London (2023)

It's been a few years since I'd heard much from London Hughes. Then she, fairly innocently, joined the biggest conversation on social media (following a now infamous Dispatches documentary) and received an unwarranted level of backlash that caught the attention... Continue Reading →

Ed Byrne: Tragedy Plus Time (2023)

Paul Byrne, a respected figure in the world of stand-up comedy, left an indelible mark on the stage before his untimely passing at the age of 44. In this show, his brother Ed pays tribute to Paul's legacy while grappling... Continue Reading →
