80’s Movie Flashbacks is a fun and irreverent sketch show, held loosely together by the question “what became of the 80s film characters that we know and love?"Think; watching a washed up super hero at home in their Wembley flats and houses for rent…
It’s a silly and enjoyable show with some nice one liners thrown in here and there from a relaxed bunch of stand up comedians; Fraser, Rik Moore, & Rachel Anderson. At times the pace lagged Read more

Eddie Murphy is one of the most well known comedians ever. He still to this day is known for his hilarious specials in the eighties. He was always dressed in leather from head to toe, except for his trademark running shoes. He was rude and crude but so funny. As a child I can remember not being allowed to even hear what his special was about let alone see it. By the time Read more

If you have never been to see Jeff Dunham you should consider going to one of his live shows. I have never really been into prop comedy so when a friend of mine asked me to go I was very hesitant. I finally agreed to go with them and I am glad that I did. I am a huge fan of stand up comedy and I have seen a lot of live shows. Jeff Dunham’s show is definitely right up Read more

The world has teetered on the brink of nuclear war a number of times in the past and once again we are in the same position. Your independent financial advisors would advise that any threat of nuclear war will certainly affect not only financial markets but also world economies. The Middle East an unstable area of the world and having a nuclear free Middle East would help in alleviating the tensions that have been ongoing for ages. But is it Read more

I see a lot of live comedy. In fact that’s an understatement. I live, breathe, eat comedy. I watch it online; I got to gigs above pubs, comedy awards shows, stadium gigs, live at the Apollo, everything. But my favourite type of comedy has to be character comedy (I’m a massive fan of Steve Coogan, Kevin Bishop etc) so I’m always interested to see new character acts on the circuit.
I first saw the diminutive Susan Harrison in “Five Read more

As the new tax rate of 50% takes effect here in Britain, many of the country’s top earners will have make contact with their financial advisor to find out just much they will be affected. Yes the over 300,000 top earners in our society will be most affected by this new tax. This may seem a small chunk when you consider the close to 30 million Brits who are registered taxpayers and who pay tax on their income.

Why do so many people hate musicals so much? Well that’s easy: they can get on your nerves, can be long and tedious, and are by their very nature over the top, irritating and exceedingly long-winded. But is that any reason to not watch them? I don’t think so. People have a breast uplift and other things for absolutely no reason, don’t they? The point is that musicals, like anything, can get on your nerves, but some of them are Read more

Everyone has a thing about brussel sprouts. People either love them or hate them, and both are fine. Because the brussel is not a pretender. It knows its place and it stays there out of harms way. It knows it will never be a main-stay vegetable and it is fine with that.
But I am not fine with cabbage. In fact, I am disgusted by it. It is a pretender, a faker, and constantly trying to get into as many Read more

I want to tell you about one of the London Comedy Circuit’s best kept secrets. Rob Broderick is an amazing improvisational stand up comedian and I’m sure it won’t be long before the rest of the world knows it. I first saw him at the Tooting comedy club Comedy at the Kirk where he was headlining and he absolutely killed the crowd. I’m a big comedy fan and have seen loads of acts ranging from frightened open spots to comedy Read more
