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.

Kimberly Policella & Kim Hope: Is That Not Normal? (2024)

We were back at Brighton Fringe, and things were going well... sort of. Yes, we were in one of our favourite beachside spots, Loading Bar, and yes, their 'Assassin's Mead' cocktail was going down an absolute treat. BUT I was... Continue Reading →

Julian Clary: Fistful of Clary (2024)

It was actually my parents who first fuelled my love of stand-up comedy. They introduced me to legendary clowns like Dave Allen, Billy Connolly, and Victoria Wood, and we all laughed along to their routines — admittedly long before I... Continue Reading →

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 →

Lee Mack, Frances Barber & Sarah Alexander: The Unfriend (2024)

It's not often that we get the chance to review West End theatre — even though the last time we did, it went down pretty well — but we think that we may have discovered a bit of a cheat... Continue Reading →

Mixed Bill: Samira Banks @ 2Northdown (2024)

Okay, so full disclosure, this is not a straight review of Samira Banks, but after our most recent visit to 2Northdown, we thought we'd have a bit of fun. Let me start at the beginning... Pre-payday January sucks: it's been... Continue Reading →

Taylor Tomlinson: Quarter-Life Crisis (2020)

So this is a bit of an odd one for us, as reviewing a Netflix special is not really our thing at all (nor will it become our thing), but I hope that my reasoning for doing it on this... 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 →
