Garrett Millerick :- Sunflower 4****

There is no mistaking that Garrett Millerick has a comedy talent that is as solid and steadfast as the man himself, but the usually glass half empty style was going to be put on hold for 2018 and he was … Read More

Catherine Bohart :- Immaculate 3***

I first saw this comedian two years ago on a shared bill show and thought she had more in her locker than the time allowed. Now she has her debut hour I was keen to see if I was right … Read More
