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.

Reginald D Hunter: Something Wicked That Other Way Comes (2026)

Walking down George Street at this year's Fringe is a very different experience from past years. In my early Fringes, it was the home of the stars, the big names who drew the biggest crowds. It was a true comedy... Continue Reading →

Samira Banks: Work in Progress (2026)

It's actually getting embarrassing just how many times we say we're not reviewing work-in-progress shows... only to then write another piece about a WiP show! But this one is different (aren't they all?!). You see, unbeknownst to our clown for... Continue Reading →

Dave Vaughan & Liam McGough: Two Guys, One GCSE (2026)

I think the phrase goes something like, "You have to have the bad to appreciate the good." If that is true, then we are due something truly amazing to appreciate after this show. The premise is simple, playful and, frankly,... Continue Reading →

John Robertson’s The Dark Room (2026)

I feel that I'm a little late to the party in reaching this conclusion, but I think that with The Dark Room, John Robertson may have inadvertently created the comedy version of The Rocky Horror Show. But before I justify... Continue Reading →

Eric Rushton: Could Well Be In (2026)

Today is all about what is colloquially known as the tricky second album. But before we get to that, we cannot begin without a quick mention of the most important meal of the day. One of our guys flew in... Continue Reading →

Police Cops: The Original (2026)

Yes, yes, yes - we have reviewed these clowns a lot. But we hadn’t yet taken this particular group of pals to see the original Police Cops show, so here we are again, and I make absolutely no apologies for... Continue Reading →

Abbie Murphy: Garage Girl (2026 WiP)

So here we are again, staring into the eyes of Cerberus. Well, the eyes on one of his heads anyway - we can’t stare into all six at once. We’re not made of eyes. But how did we get here?... Continue Reading →

Shambles Ensemble: Binding Agent (2026)

Where do you start when reviewing a play like this? Naturally, with coconut margaritas. For the second year running, we kicked off our Brighton Fringe adventure at Halisco, a genuinely superb Mexican fusion spot that we simply can’t get enough... Continue Reading →

John Tothill: This Must Be Heaven (2026)

We’ll get to the man who may be the youngest person to die on a cruise ship in a minute. But no review of ours can begin without a few drinks… and today’s. Were. Spectacular. We made our regular pilgrimage... Continue Reading →
