Contemporary designer jewellery

If you’re a jewellery lover, you’ll be aware that the place to go for innovative and interesting jewellery isn’t the shop down the road, but the internet. The internet is veritably brimming with stunning contemporary designer jewellery, some designed by up-and-coming individuals, and some put out by bigger designers from overseas you might never have heard of. Contemporary designer jewellery takes a number of different shapes and forms, so no matter what your tastes, the internet is a great More

Bill Bailey – A comedian like no other.

Bill Bailey is a gem which has a charm like no other. His self-deprecating humour towards his own appearance along with his intelligible wit and outstanding musical talent leaves many who view his work to become nothing less of a fan.

Through British television Bill has shown his highly acclaimed humor to the public and gained quite a bit of fame (despite being an obvious candidate for laser hair removal sussex).

Bill has starred in the BAFTA award winning More

John Bishop. A Safe Bet.

John Bishop started performing stand up comedy in the year 2000 and successfully made it in to the finals of many of the major comedy competitions the following year, winning the City Life North West Comedian of the year.

He has been gigging since then but 2009 can perhaps be seen as his breakthrough year when he was nominated for a prestigious Edinburgh Comedy Award. Since that time he had his own television series commissioned: John Bishop’s Britain which was More

Andrew Lawrence

I went to see Andrew Lawrence in his latest full length show “The Too Ugly for Television Tour” at the Pleasance in Edinburgh and was very impressed. In a climate in which comedians are so often safe and mainstream it was refreshing to witness an act whose dark and clever material was as refreshing as a blast of cold air on a hot day. Lawrence is a highly skilled writer whose long, wordy rants are invariably cruel and very, very More

Comedy Review: Guess Who

This movie stars Bernie Mac, Ashton Kutcher and Zoe Saldana. It is a comedic version of the original Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner staring Sidney Portier. The original involved a very dramatic take on a white family who’s daughter brings home the black man that she intends to marry. Considering the time period, it was very controversial. The movie Guess Who reverses the roles in which Zoe Saldana brings the very white, Ashton Kutcher, home to meet her parents to More

Showstoppers The Improvised Musical

I went to see this show in Edinburgh last year and then I heard the Pilot on Radio 4 on March 16th which was really exciting! I really do hope that Showstoppers The Improvised Musical get a full series commissioned as it’s such a fun and brilliant show. The basic premise is that it’s a musical but the whole thing is totally improvised by a group of very talented performers. The performers take suggestions from the audience, for example for More

Ellen DeGeneres

Ellen DeGeneres came from the world of stand up comedians and has worked her way to her own show The Ellen DeGeneres Show (which starts everytime with a heartwarming dance with our favourite host in her trademark running shoes). While staring in several sitcoms and movies as well as hosting a large number of events such as Academy Awards and Primetime Emmys, Ellen also starred as the voice for Dory in the movie Finding Nemo. This role won More

Improvisation is an amazing thing to watch

Live improvisation can be so much fun. It can be fun to watch and fun to participate in. Live improvisation is when a group of people act things out on stage without a script. They may ask the audience for suggestions of characters, settings, and situations. They may also pull ideas out of a hat or bucket. They then have to act out the situation as though they were the characters in the specific setting. They take on the personality More

No one is funnier than Katt Williams.

Katt Williams is one of the funniest comedians ever. He has such a unique comedic style that there really isn‘t another comedian to compare him to. When you are watching one of his shows you are in constant hysterics and do not even want to get up because you are afraid that you will miss a punch line. He can sometimes be a little racy but as long as you prepare yourself it isn’t too bad. He does use some More

Five Characters in Search of Susan

Review of the last live comedy show I saw…

Five Characters in Search of Susan is an energetic hour of character comedy written and performed by character comic Susan Harrison. It’s a much darker and more bizarre show than I was expecting but all the better for that fact. I like my comedy quite broad and there were moments which I felt could have been edited a bit, as they were a bit wordy, but on the whole I thought More
