Review: Three Men in a Boat, Rose Theatre
Funny, energetic and winningly performed, this busy adaptation loses its way whenever it reaches for insights beyond Jerome K. Jerome’s timeless original.
-
Review: Linus Karp Was Hit With An Umbrella, Underbelly Bristo Square
A very personal and shocking story of a homophobic attack, told with Karp's usual flair for the comedic and theatrical.
-
Review: Rhino Conservation Erotic Novel, Lower Marsh Arts Club
Daniel Trengove and Gabriel Madden have built a properly functioning comic engine: this show’s jokes are sharp, specific, and completely its own.
-
Review: We’ll Always Have Paris, White Bear Theatre
Desperately seeking …LERV, Ginny can’t find that man in her life who’s real and not out of the movies. This new play charms but ultimately misses its mark.
-
Review: Tartuffe (Remixed), Marylebone Theatre
A sunshine-filled reinvention of Molière’s classic, full of energy and farcical humour, but with a surprisingly complex seam that adds rich depth.
-
Review: Crybabies: The Scaring, Soho Theatre
The freedom and silliness of a sketch show with the scale to make its ridiculous ideas feel spectacular.
-
Review: You’re So Special, Soho Theatre
A cautionary tale of unhinged ambition.
-
Review: You Are What You Eat, theSpace on the Mile
A pair of bubbling best friends treat us to a silly crime thriller in 70s London. It's silly, it's corny, but it's brilliant fun.
-
Review: Teen Spirit, theSpace @ Surgeons’ Hall
It's a show that still needs work, but there is no denying it’s already a fun offering, especially if you're a bit of rock music geek!

Review: Cogito Ergo… Something?, Bedlam Theatre
A classic piece of farce that takes more than a little influence from the TV series Bottom.
