Review: “100% C*ntinental” @ Edinburgh Festival Fringe (The Basement at Home Bar) – 20th August 2023

After a very confusing walk through a bar and down some very dingy stairs, we’re greeted by the lovely door staff of Mari Volar’s “100% C*ntinental”. I […]

Eastside was a small pub-type situation housing several of the free Fringe shows and “Hi I’m Zoë” was based in a long room called “the Lounge” seeming almost like private seating in a pub or a club. It made for the perfect location for this show and Zoë Frendin made the most of all the […]

Southampton Comedy Society’s ‘Freshers and Alumini Show’ @ The Annex
I was recently treated to a very enjoyable night on behalf of Southampton’s Comedy Society, who are clearly a very fab society because The Annex was absolutely dripping in laughter the whole way through! I often get a feeling of dread watching comics; Will their jokes land? Who will be the first to say c***? […]

REVIEW: Daniel Howell @ O2 Guildhall 14/09/2022
Most of us have at least heard of Daniel Howell (also known by his old YouTube name Dan Is Not On Fire). He graced our phone and computer screens for years until, in 2018, he went silent. One year later, to the delight of his fans, he reappeared under the branding Daniel Howell and came […]

Controversy in Comedy
We’re lucky. In the 21st-Century, most people agree and strive for a sense of equality, tolerance and respect. Those who don’t share these values are slowly finding their numbers in decline, as education seeks to eradicate naivety and ignorance.

Best Comedians to See Live: Suzi Ruffell
I will preface this with a IEFA (Insufferable Edinburgh Fringe Attendee) warning. Because yes, I saw Suzi at Fringe, and maybe it was the £6 pints or just the heady artistic fog in the air, but it was the best comedy gig I have ever been to. 34 year old Portsmouth born and raised Suzi […]
