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.

Guy Montgomery: I was part of the problem before we were talking about it (2019)

Us seeing this show was purely down to fate and chance. We had a window of time to kill and (unsurprisingly) whilst we were pontificating we were hit with a series of flyers for that time. As is often the... Continue Reading →

Ciaran Dowd: Padre Rodolfo (2019)

"Your entrance was good, his was better. The difference... showmanship". I am not sure if Ciaran Dowd was paying attention when Jim Carrey's Riddler first said this but boy has he nailed it. Last year Don Rodolfo proved to be... Continue Reading →

Stewart Francis: Into the Punset (2019)

As this was my first show of this year's fringe I wanted to start with a safe pair of hands... Usually when someone says that they mean "middle of the road" or "solid" but when it comes to comedy this... Continue Reading →

Only Fools and Horses: The Musical (2019)

I wasn't going to write this up... I never actually planned to see the show... This is someone else trying to do Only Fools and Horses!... Someone else playing Del boy!... I genuinely can't think of a bigger set of... Continue Reading →

Emily Atack: Talk Thirty to Me (2019)

It's always interesting when an actor or TV personality announce that they are 'having a go' at stand-up. I have seen a few over the years and from Richard Bacon (frankly embarrassing) to Kirsten O'Brien (genuinely likable) the results have... Continue Reading →

Ella Woods & Chloe Green: Venn (WiP 2019)

The Invisible Dot emerges from the ether once more, in a spectral reincarnation of its former self. Once upon a time, The Invisible Dot, nestled near Kings Cross, stood as one of London's quirkiest venues – a haven for the... Continue Reading →

Abbott & Costello: Who’s on First (recorded: 1944)

This is a comedy routine that I have turned to time and time again, it has become my go-to-clip whenever I meet someone at work who says "old films aren't funny" - and I can't think of a better single... Continue Reading →

Jim Campbell: VAULT Festival (WiP 2019)

Vaultfest is quickly becoming one of my must-hit events in London. I love the fact that one minute you can be walking down a deserted South Bank on a cold mid-week night and the next you find yourself taking the... Continue Reading →

Henning Wehn: Get on with it (2018)

It had been THAT kind of day, the kind of day that makes you want your first ‘cocktail’ of the evening to be half a bottle of Zybrowka and ten packs of Paramol! Thankfully my comedy pal had other ideas... Continue Reading →
