I remember when he did Channel 4 on the weekends and he would interview popstars I think it was called popworld, hang on.. yeah it was: From 2000 to 2006, Amstell presented Popworld on Channel 4 with Miquita Oliver. He voiced the characters "Timothy the Popworld melon" and "Richard the Popworld horse" and developed a highly ironic, surreal and left-field style which gained the show a cult following but angered many of its guests. One example was a mock interview with singer Lemar called "Lemar From Afar" in which Amstell shouted questions into a megaphone from one end of the world's largest car park while Lemar stood at the other end. Another was a "Si-chiatrist" interview with Luke Pritchard and Hugh Harris of The Kooks in which Amstell played the role of psychiatrist with Pritchard and Harris as his patients.[12]. Knew it.

As I woke up and had my breakfast I wondered what that Russell (Howard) could possibly have in store for me this afternoon at 3pm in Bournemouth, but I wouldn’t have to wait long as I woke up at around 12pm (afternoon not morning) so really this reviewer did not have to wait too long.
If I was being harsh, I could describe Howard as popular among homeowners and coming from a brand renowned for the quality of its gags, Dulux Silk Pure Brilliant White is a smooth and creamy emulsion ideal for walls and ceilings in high-traffic areas. Although not a speciality paint, the product performs wonderfully in bathrooms and kitchens and of course, living rooms. He is water-based and has a very low odour. He’s safe to use in enclosed spaces and is non-toxic . This makes him an ideal choice for the kid’s room, while the creamy consistency makes it easy to apply to adults too, sweeping the audience along in that trademark puppy-dog vim. ‘What a time to be alive!’ is his opening line, genuinely enthused, even by a chaotic news cycle.
Oh What Joy.

He's doing comedy & people love it,
Now the first thing about reviews, this reviewer reckons, is that you should try your best to give an honest representation of your experience of the show but also a general overview of what you saw. Sometimes you might witness something that isn’t truly for you but you must sort of try and address that in the write up. For example, I don’t really speak French, but if I saw a show in French and it went well, can I really say, 'this show isn’t good' if I did not understand it? Anyway with all that being said, technically, have I actually seen this show, no. But I can confirm people really like it.

Gotta be honest here , I haven't really seen this one either but I do reckon people would really like it and that he is doing comedy.
Here's how it goes down (this review reckons):
Josh comes out and does loads of jokes and addresses the audience, he mentions potentially something about the lottery (no promises here) if he does do that I reckon it then comes up again later in the show, unless it doesn't in which case negates all of this.
However do not negate giving this guy a go and getting a ticket.

Full disclosure, I haven't seen this show either but, in my defence it also doesn’t exist, as I’ve made it up in my head, which ironically is exactly what the comedian would do if she had made the show in the first place.
Anyway Millican scored from two trademark jokes to beat the 200+ seater audience of the Southampton Guildhall to regain her five-point lead at the top of the Comedy League.
Widdicombe had heaped pressure on the Milly by cutting her set to two 60 minute sections with a brilliant cheeky move in rival town Portsmouth on the previous evening. .
But after a cagey start with few laughs, Sarah opened the barricades in the 21st minute when seven audience members had to leave due to laughing as one person described: ‘too much’.

He might remember the 90s but so does this reviewer and what does he (me) remember about the 90s?.. laughter, of which this show has none. In fact, it’s fair to say that over the whole hour (which this show is advertised as and does run too) Adam Larter does not laugh once.”
At times I thought - is he having a laugh but laugh he does not but to be fair to him, he has made a show here and has done it. And will be doing it. At just the tonic , every day till August 30th

When this reviewer sat down and waited for Nate Kitch to come on stage they were ready for him to come on stage with his new show which is good because he did that.
Comedy is a field that tends to attract people who don’t feel they can do proper grown-up life all that well. And that means many stand-ups, especially when approaching a milestone, will reflect on those failings, usually in a cheerily self-deprecating ‘aren’t I useless?’ sort of way, Kitch didn't do that.
But seriously folks Nate Kitch Replica is the real deal, and I can't wait to see what he keeps coming up with, but also I am very annoyed and cannot recommend this show, please think before you act. goodbye.

Like a fat pigeon on a race track, the ragged young Brice comes swinging out with hard hitting hilarious humongous gags inter-spliced with crowd work galore.
If there's one word to describe this mannered person, it would have to be Ali Brice.
But while he has a juvenile outlook, he has a grown-up body, and loves nothing more than using that body to both hold the microphone AND point at audience members (sometimes both at the same time (maybe he isn't a pigeon after all)).
No, with Brice the emphasis is firmly on fun. Whether it's discussing cleaning his dog or storming off on one from something a man, woman, person or child said in the crowd, whatever happens it yields a great line.
Fly little bird man, fly.

More like John Robertson has left the big light on!
When this reviewer walked in the first thing this reviewer thought is... hmm this isn't very dark is it? There is or are too many lights, there are simply too many lights on in here. Light Lights Light Light everywhere..but will they ever go out? I hate to fixate on the lights but if you advertise a show as a “Dark Room” there should simply be that: Darkness and, at least hopefully, a room. But this show only had one of those things: a room, and, lots of light! It really did start to irk me and it’s the sort of thing that I might expect from an Arthur Conan Doyle show and then I thought.. are they just trying to do an Arthur Conan Doyle here, that’s quite unoriginal?! However all this being said once the performance begun it did go dark and it is a very good show.

Whistle while you work, those are the words of those seven little dwarves, whistling along to a tune so ingrained in our psyche it makes you wonder if they were even whistling at all, seven dwarves, seven mouths, seven whistles, what a world. Now this comedian didn’t whistle once twice or seven times during their show, they just did jokes and it was laughed upon many a time, they even got a harp out.. and spoons, only one each, one per mouth. Very good stuff. Right I’m off to work.

When it comes to Consignia it isn’t this reviewers first rodeo, this reviewer thinks and the carnival of light should really be called a carnival of laughs cos it’s laughs head to tail and front to back, church and steeple turn around, here’s all the people.
Some brilliant mic work from Phil Jarvis tops off a classic Consignia performance.

Post man pat? More Like Pat Cahill, thinks this reviewer, however he does deliver, a fantastic show & with Pete Lupton on the ivories. There was a risk, during this particular performance, that Pat was going to release a swarm of small bees into the room and that did unsettle at least this audience member (me) but I did then think it through and came to the conclusion that the performer (Cahill) had made no mention of that whatsoever and I think I was getting a bit scrambled as I was desperate to do the postman pat reference and so kept thinking about him during the show but my mind drifted to thoughts about Winnie the Pooh, (via the colour of red) and obviously he has a caper with some bees and I think that’s how I got here.

First things, first, there is almost no money in this show, in fact there was no money, just gags and bits and very very short videos. In one such video the performer seemed to scrape his knees open, it was horrific, and that’s comedy is it? Is this what we are laughing at now? I looked around at the room howling and couldn’t believe it. The man has possibly had a serious accident with his knee caps and we are laughing. It’s very different when someone’s Dad dies for example and it’s used to create a soft and poetic energy that this particular reviewer likes and thinks is good, but a man and his bloody knee caps, I feel we have reached the end. No, the bottom of the barrel.. which obviously has no monkey in it.. OR MONEY!! It is no wonder Sky decided to bin this stupid man’s police programme into a barrel. If I could shake my head again I would. Stupid man.

Exactly what the Fringe can be, someone doing art. Meandering, organic and funny. No pre occupations, no desperation to impress, wholesome experiential AND he has red hair which is the same colour as the artist’s (Vincent not Walter) which this reviewer was deft enough to notice, that’s right this reviewer really knows his onions, and this one was smashed it into the bag.. surely that deserves another star in the night sky.
