August 15, 2023 | one4review
It seems a long time ago that I first saw Ivo Graham at the Fringe as a young up and coming comic.
Obviously his star is still rising, Graham is always appearing on TV whether it is his stand-up … Read More
Francis Breen: White 3***
August 15, 2023 | one4reviewOne of the Alternative Comedy Memorial Society’s permitted heckles is “we appreciated what you’re trying to do!”, and another is “encourage!”, both of which I would like to shout sincerely at Mr Breen’s firmly alternative show, which needs his audience to … Read More
Helen Duff: Lullabies 4.5****

Annabel Marlow…is this okay?? 4****
August 15, 2023 | one4reviewMs Marlow has a great voice, and in her opening gambit entreats us – and perhaps herself – not to wonder why we’re there, but rather to just enjoy the moment. The show has a throughline of reminders to ignore … Read More

August 15, 2023 | one4reviewThe success of The Alternative Comedy Memorial Society, hosted by Thom tuck and a roster of co-hosts (Alexander Bennett at my showing; fitted right in and did an excellent job) is due in no small part to the following they … Read More
