Alternative Comedy Memorial Society (ACMS) 4****
August 21, 2017 | one4reviewACMS has another new home, and this one is hot, and not allowed to have loud music. So naturally, on the bill were a trumpet player, a saxophonist and a trombonist, and equally naturally, the audience (without a huge amount … Read More
Helen Duff: When the Going Gets Duff 4****
August 21, 2017 | one4reviewMs Duff is effervescent. There is no more appropriate word to describe her. Her mind, as she says, does seem to work considerably faster than her mouth, and that doesn’t go slow. She fizzes around the stage, distracted by the … Read More
Alasdair Beckett-King: The Alasdair Beckett-King Mysteries 4****
August 21, 2017 | one4reviewIt is necessary to understand the distinction between stand-up comedy (in which heckling may be appropriate) and a comedy show, in which you should not speak unless spoken to. It often flusters performers who are not stand-ups, and that ruins … Read More
Goose: Amphetawaltz 5*****
August 21, 2017 | one4reviewIf you haven’t seen Goose, whyever not? It’s an amazingly fun, ridiculous hour of absurd premises and tenuous links exploring the nature of context and misdirection. The single weak section of the show which nearly lost them a star became … Read More

August 21, 2017 | one4reviewAshley Storrie as I’m sure almost everyone will know, is the daughter of Glaswegian comedy superstar Janey Godley, yet while there are similarities she is definitely her own woman. Not wanting to pay for intro music, Ashley is on stage … Read More
Mark Watson Festival Of Bad Ideas 2**
August 20, 2017 | one4reviewMark swipes through his book of contacts to bring us his chosen guests. If his intention was to experiment, to go all avant garde on us, it worked tonight. We got Sanderson Jones. He of those annoying TV Bingo … Read More
Gary Delaney – There’s Something About Gary 4****
August 20, 2017 | one4reviewAs the audience settle into their seats, we are treated to a number of screen shots of Gary’s hilarious tweets, via a large slide show. This is a good indication of the way the show will go and the pace … Read More
Skin – 201 Dance Company – 5*****
August 20, 2017 | one4reviewThe 201 Dance Company tell the story of a boy’s gender transition through their contemporary urban dance production. I would not expect urban hip-hop style dancing as a way of expressing such an emotional journey however, with Andrea Walkers outstanding … Read More
Fat Rascal Theatre: Buzz: A New Musical, 4 stars ****
August 20, 2017 | one4reviewThis award-winning show promises to guide us through the history of the vibrator and whilst it does indeed do that, it comes across more simply as a story about relationships. But it does this very well, it is very slick … Read More
Stephen Bailey – Can’t Think Straight 5*****
August 20, 2017 | one4reviewIt was back in 2014 when I first saw Stephen Bailey and back then he showed a lot of potential. His next show was even better, and now with his 2017 that potential has been fully realised. Bailey is camp, … Read More
