Sofie Hagen, Soho Theatre review - sex weekend in Swansea, anyone?Wednesday, 11 September 2019
Memory is a funny thing: it can get you through exams; it can comfort you or distress you; it can last a lifetime or go in an instant.

Edinburgh Fringe 2019 reviews: Jordan Brookes/ Catherine CohenSunday, 25 August 2019
Jordan Brookes Pleasance Courtyard ★★★★ Jordan Brookes doesn’t tell gags. Well, he does but not in a traditional stand-up way. Rather, his jokes are subtly inserted into I’ve Got Nothing’s seemingly disjointed narrative. Read more... |

Edinburgh Fringe 2019 reviews: Joanne McNally/ The Crown Dual/ Maisie Adam/ James McNicholas/ Titania McGrathMonday, 12 August 2019
Joanne McNally Assembly George Square ★★★★ The area Joanne McNally treads (actually stomps might be a better word, given her fantastically high-energy performance) in The Prosecco Express is not new – she’s 36 and wondering if she should settle down and have children, or would that mean settling for less – but the Irish comic makes it her own.
