-
Review: Knocked Conscious: A Sketch Comedy Show, Waterloo East Theatre
A lively and funny hour’s worth of sketches delivered with skill and energy; some absurd, some mocking and all very silly.
-
Review: The Grim, Southwark Playhouse Borough
An enjoyable comedic thriller packed with action, supernatural happenings, and witty jokes that is both unsettling and hilarious.
-
Review: Ms. Holmes & Ms. Watson – Apt. 2B, Arcola Theatre
A mad cap Sherlock Holmes compendium with a feminist twist which raises a few laughs but mainly misses its mark.
-
Review: One Woman And Her Bitch, Etcetera Theatre
A bizarre blur of half-formed concepts
-
Review: Comedy of Errors Remixed, The Courtyard Theatre
Like witnessing the arrival of the next generation of theatre-makers – an unforgettable experience and a genuine privilege to watch unfold.
-
Review: You Matched With…, The Pleasance
Putting the intelligence into AI, “You Matched With…” dissects the disasters of digital dating with an all-too-relatable comedy that ‘holds space’ and hangs us all out to dry.
-
Review: The Fool’s Flock’s Comedy About a Vampire, Etcetera Theatre
Moments of effective, well-written humour show promise for developing this funny but poorly structured farce; despite a weak plot, with some attention to detail this play could flourish in the future.
-
Review: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare’s Globe
A wintry reimagining of Shakespeare’s popular comedy that is intriguing, occasionally unsettling, but not always entirely convincing.
-
Review: Ring Ring, White Bear Theatre
An entertaining look at relationships, in the London premiere of acclaimed playwright Gary Owen’s latest work. Humour and talent abound.
-
Review: Murder at Midnight, Churchill Theatre Bromley
A fast-paced farce in an eye-catching set with some strong performances, but a few missed beats.
