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.

Tim Minchin: Back (2019)

Back in 2005 I was "dragged" to a comedy show at the Soho Theatre. Musical comedy was never really my thing and as much as the piano playing Aussie who looked a bit like Bill Bailey's love child sounded amusing... Continue Reading →

Mae Martin: WiP (2019)

I could tell you that we were looking to try out a new comedy venue and that's why we ended up down a back street in Islington on a cold Monday night. I could tell you that, but I would... Continue Reading →

Ari Eldjarn: Eagle Fire Iron (2019)

It was a mid week night in Soho and I have to say that it felt good to have some live comedy on the schedule. My comedy pal for the evening and I had decided to bar crawl our way... Continue Reading →

I don't exactly know how to start this review. It will admittedly be biased and viewed through rose tinted glasses because even though I had never met the man or ever seen him perform live, on August 11th 2014 the... Continue Reading →

Ed Byrne: If I’m Honest (2019)

There was a real sense of anticipation as we approached the Assembly Rooms for this gig. Ed Byrne has long deserved clown legend status - if not quite clown royalty most certainly titled and definitely invited to all the weddings.... Continue Reading →

Tom Parry: Paraoke! (2019)

It was the last day of the Edinburgh Fringe - and I do mean the actual last day that was stated in the programme and not the "last day" that 80% of acts decided to make the last day, which... Continue Reading →

Pierre Novellie: You’re Expected to Care (2019)

What a time its been for this clown, in just a few short years he has gone from veritable anonymity to becoming one of the first clowns on many peoples Fringe team sheets. His insights in to politics receive much... Continue Reading →

Emmy Fyles: Socially Awkward Penguin (2019)

It's essentially the last day of the Fringe and I find myself in a venue that I have never visited before - the best way to describe it would be an over-sized bomb shelter reinforced by an eclectic collection of... Continue Reading →

Police Cops: Badass Be Thy Name (2019)

I mean, where to begin? Can absurd brilliance be a thing? I genuinely don't know, but if it is a thing then I just witnessed it! Last year I was convinced to see Police Cops in Space by a pal... Continue Reading →
