Louis CK, Bloomsbury Theatre, London (Rated 4/ 5 )

If you saw Ricky Gervais' widely panned tour this year you will have watched, as part of the show's opening sequence, the burly ginger American comic Louis CK deliver a recorded plea for certain bodily fluids to keep Gervais alive.

First Night: Last Night of the Poms, Albert Hall, London (Rated 2/ 5 )

Wednesday, 16 September 2009

Having shrunk dramatically from 13 tour dates to only five, one wonders if there was ever a likelihood that tonight could have been Barry Humphries' first and last night of the poms.

The Pajama Men: The Last Stand To Reason, Assembly Rooms, Edinburgh (Rated 4/ 5 )

Tuesday, 1 September 2009

Professional misery-guts Rhod Gilbert has vaulted to a new level of popularity since his tour de force at last year's Fringe.

Ricky Gervais: Science, Edinburgh Playhouse, Edinburgh (Rated 2/ 5 )

Thursday, 27 August 2009

As with Animals, Politics and Fame, Ricky Gervais' new show, Science, bears little or no relation to its moniker; rather, it is an excuse to set the stage as Frankenstein's castle laboratory. Of course, what's in a name if the material is good?

Hans Teeuwen, Udderbelly Pasture, Edinburgh (Rated 4/ 5 )

Thursday, 27 August 2009

The Dutch comedy icon Hans Teeuwen cuts a ridiculous figure. Ludicrous even. Which is no bad thing for a 42-year old absurdist who, perhaps against the cultural odds, is becoming a regular on the UK comedy scene.
