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. And, though the show’s title suggests something less [...]

Reviewer: Clare Boswell The Public Reviews Rating: Whilst watching Kevin Precious perform his show ‘Not Appropriate’ at Salford’s Lowry Theatre, I felt it safe to assume that during his years as head of religious studies at Ilfield Community College, Crawley, he must have been one of those cool teachers that kids aspire to be like – after all, [...]

But the name shows confidence, a performer who knows his audience and knows what they will enjoy. In the hands of [...]

Reviewer: Jo Beggs The Public Reviews Rating: Character comedy has all but eclipsed stand-up in the past few years. Everyday language has become littered with the utterings of a whole host of grotesque characters from Vicky Pollard’s ‘Yeah, but no, but yeah’, to Carol Beer’s “Computer says no”. The catchphrases have found a place in our hearts, even [...]

Reviewer: Tony Oliver The Public Reviews Rating: Having taken the air waves by storm with his BBC 3 comedy show ‘Lee Nelson’s Well Good Show’ Lee Nelson, supported by his best mate Omelette embarks on a National tour which continues until 6th April 2012. The stage at the Grand Opera House is dimly lit with purple lights, a [...]
