Writer and performer: Simon Munnery Reviewer: Dave Cunningham The Public Reviews Rating: Simon Munnery starts off his new show in the way he does not intend to go on. A show made up of lengthy monologues and songs opens with a series of short and marvellously surreal one-liners. Munnery enters wearing a stovepipe hat from which bubbles [...]

Writer: Brett Goldstein Reviewer: Cherry See The Public Reviews Rating: I’m not sure some members of the audience at The Square Chapel Theatre were quite ready for the natural wit of funny-man Brett Goldstein. Growing up in a strip club turns out not to be the glam-Stringfellow-esque lifestyle you may at first imagine. Brett opened with an introduction [...]

Writer: by Deborah Frances-White. Reviewer: Julie Burrow The Public Reviews Rating: According to her website, Deborah Frances-White is a stand-up comedian, writer and executive coach, and brings all of these skills together for this show, which tutors men and women on how to become more attractive to the opposite sex.

His first stand-up tour shows why he’s such a fast-rising star. Starting the evening, Romesh Ranganathan provides support. His material ranges from cheese [...]

Director: Jake Murray Writer: Chris Dance Music: Mike Seal Reviewer: Dave Cunningham The Public Reviews Rating:   Timing is everything in comedy and it is hard to imagine a better time to launch a new comedy set in the Festive period. Laura (Hazel Earle) and Julie (Emma Laidlaw) are close friends who have very different outlooks on life. [...]

Reviewer: Tracey Lowe The Public Reviews Rating: One cannot deny the runaway success that is The Inbetweeners. Three successful series, a box office smashing movie and a possibly dubious US version, it seems everyone wants a piece of this home-grown comedy sensation. One of the best things to come out of the show is Greg Davies, who plays [...]
