Review: Shappi Khorsandi

By Marissa Burgess

A third of the way through the second half of the show and Khorsandi apologises for her scattiness; blaming it on the fact that once you’re a mum it’s possible to complete only one job with full focus and memory at a time.

Review: Lee Mack - The Lowry

By Paul Taylor

Lee Mack came to the stage heralded by support act Simon Evans as "this generation’s Ken Dodd". That’s not a bad parallel. Mack is defiantly old school, deploys something of Dodd’s frenetic delivery and startled befuddlement with the modern world, and he does it with a healthy dose of silliness.

Ricky Gervais Science

I agree with some of what the main reviewer said-the Amanda Holden joke was too long and laboured and ended up not being that funny. He only loosely sticks to the theme and it probably wasn't as good as his previous shows.... Read more…
