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 →

Ralphie May: Just Correct (REC 2004)

I don’t think anyone can ever truly explain why social media algorithms decide to drop certain performers into your life. Sure, we all understand the theory behind the so-called “dark art” – watch one clip and suddenly you’re fed ten... Continue Reading →

Our Most Popular Comedy Shows Of 2025

Hello all! We used to do this annual wrap-up exclusively on Twitter, but this year we made the decision to step away from the platform. And yes, despite it being a pretty solid traffic generator for us, it’s also become... Continue Reading →

Operation Mincemeat (2025)

Mark Thomas: WD40 (2025)

We’re very aware that this review is late. So very, very late. If we had a proper editor (and I always imagine J.K. Simmons as J. Jonah Jameson when I say that), he’d have been screaming at us for over... Continue Reading →

Mixed Bill: Carl Donnelly @ The Castle (2025)

This evening’s story actually started a few months ago, with a simple text from a pal: “Hey mate, just seen this poster — I think Carl Donnelly is playing my local!?!” Yes, that Carl Donnelly. The one we recently dubbed... Continue Reading →

Police Cops: The Original (2025)

Well, this is an absolute treat. We’re sat under the tarpaulin roof of The Unicorn Bar, drinks in hand, sunshine streaming through, and it’s the last day of this year’s Edinburgh Fringe. But that lovely scene isn’t the treat I’m... Continue Reading →
