REVIEW: Shit-Faced Showtime: A Pissedmas Carol
Reading Time: 2 minutesAn extravaganza of Christmas spirit (in more ways than one!) Shitfaced Showtime…wow. Where to begin? From the second the mayhem began, the cacophony of Christmas spirit achieved by a mulled wine and a minced pie upon entry,…
REVIEW: Sleeping Beauty Takes a Prick!
Reading Time: 2 minutesTake a prick, take a friend, just take anyone, and have a camp old time with this show Sleeping Beauty Takes a Prick! is a new (very) adult pantomime from the team behind the hugely successful Above…
REVIEW: The Scouse Dick Whittington
Reading Time: 2 minutesA different and hilarious spin on a theatre classic Royal Court’s fifteenth Christmas special in a row, The Scouse Dick Whittington is more of a musical comedy than the traditional pantomime (and is definitely far more explicit…
REVIEW: Abishek & Nirmal: The Reel to Real
Reading Time: < 1 minuteCharming, cheeky and quick witted – a delight of an evening I’ll be honest – I was desperate to see this. I actually met Abishek and Nirmal during the Fringe, but couldn’t make it to their…
REVIEW: A Terrible Show for Terrible People
Reading Time: < 1 minuteA Terrible Show is equal parts burlesque, pantomime and mime – a practically wordless array of absurd, blatantly sexual physical comedy.
REVIEW: Blood on the Clocktower: Live
Reading Time: < 1 minuteFrom the team that brought us Werewolf: Live. I was thrilled to see another 'social board game' live show. The concept: five of your favourite comedians playing the game observed. Boring you think? You'd be wrong. Blood on the Clocktower is a game of murder and mystery, lies and logic, deduction and deception.
REVIEW: Murder Inc.

REVIEW: Molly
Reading Time: < 1 minuteMolly is the story of a young woman who works at Greggs, parties on the weekends and goes through the unthinkable. The set up is simple - we meet Molly in all her Greggs garb and we even get to see her love of sausage rolls. We learn she’s single, loves her job and all the regulars, and on the weekend indulges in a bit of cocaine.
REVIEW: MUSIC
Reading Time: < 1 minuteA comedy play about AI taking over the music industry was my first pick when booking in reviews. The concept is fully in the zeitgeist as becoming more and more fraught. The show centres on Dave, a House Band Musician/Receptionist whose only ambition (he doesn’t have dreams) is to become…. A full time receptionist. On the way he ends up swallowing a music algorithm intent to take over the world.
