Clownster Comedy

So, yes, this is another comedy review site (like Chortle… only less professional, exhaustive or well written) but these are just my opinions so hardly deserve gospel status. I have been watching live comedy for around 15 years and I have to say that I 100% admire anyone who has the guts to take to a spot lit stage in front of an unknown crowd armed with just a microphone and their wits. It’s a profession that I know I could not do and for that I doff my tiny bowler hat to them.

Police Cops: The Musical (2021)

One of the things that I love most about Kickstarter is the ability to feel like you've actually contributed to helping a great idea become a reality. Over the years, among other things, I have backed a couple of very... Continue Reading →

Mae Martin: SAP (2021)

I don’t think that I’ve ever had this level of expectation before a comedy show. We booked our tickets literally on the day that they were released, mid covid, with every restriction imaginable. This was to be the shining light... Continue Reading →

Jack Barry: (2021)

Jack Barry was the opening act for the Mae Martin show 'SAP' at the Leicester Square Theatre, and we all know that you can't judge a clown by a 20-minute warm-up set. So why am I writing this review? Well... Continue Reading →

Tim Fitzhigham: Here Now (2021)

"HOWL AT THE MOOOOOOON!"... I am aware that this is is an unusual way to start a comedy review but it is the reason that we first encountered Tim Fitzhigham. Back in the day Tim used to play a, sort... Continue Reading →

MC Hammersmith: 1 Man 8 Mile (2021)

This show began as a cautionery tale of not booking a Fringe show based solely on its name, but ended in a thoroughly enjoyable hour of entertainment. Over the last few years the Fringe has played host to a number... Continue Reading →

Jack Dee: (WiP 2021)

30 years ago Jack Dee finished as the runner up in the Perrier Award (along with Eddie Izzard and Lily Savage) behind winner Frank Skinner. I looked that up because I had a hazy memory of watching the ceremony on... Continue Reading →

Dara O Briain: So, Where Were We? (WiP 2021)

We have caught Dara O Briain a couple of times in Fringes past but almost always as the compere of a late-night mixed bill - his solo show sells out FAST. In fact the last time we saw his own... Continue Reading →

Alex Kealy: Monopoly (WiP 2021)

We can't work out if Alex Kealy lost a bet or if he is just some sort of clown sadist... but the idea of road-testing Silicon Valley monopolies material on a midnight, Free Fringe, Counting House crowd is one hell... Continue Reading →

Andrew Maxwell: Reality (2021)

Way back in 2016 the Clownster website went live with our first ever review. It was Andrew Maxwell performing 'Slight Return' - a fitting choice as it was his tendancy to affectionately refer to his fellow performers as clowns that... Continue Reading →
