10,000 Ideas 4****
August 5, 2023 | one4reviewThis show definitely delivers on the title; it’s also in a tiny sauna of a room where the stage lights are about a foot above the (seated) audience’s heads, so do take in some water. Despite that, and because of … Read More
Nicole Harris: No Brainer 2**

A career in … Read More
Snowflake It ‘Til You Make It – 2**
August 24, 2018 | one4reviewMatt Duwell starts his show with a bit of audience banter. This later turns out to have encouraged a few of the chattier members a little too much, and his main theme got de-railed at times.
