Reviews
David O’Doherty: You Have to Laugh
Charming and clever offering from award-winning comedian and musician
The Oxford Imps – Class of 2018
Imps intermittently impress in energetic and skillfully performed, but mixed show
Dirty White Boys: Manners
Uneven sketches can’t blunt the appeal of an hour with two hugely talented performers.
Clay Nikiforuk: Fun To Be Around
Excellent storytelling about a struggle with mental health that overcomes an occasional dearth of laughs.

Blisteringly rage-filled hour of stand-up on life, the universe and everything else
