“As a Roland Juno-Di, a guitar and three microphones awaited the show to start, as well as a sold out Shaw Theatre, at just the sound of The Axis of Awesome on the voice over, the crowd went crazy and the group came on stage to the sound of rapturous applause and cheering. Straight away, the…
“As the audience stood in the bar area waiting for the Office Party Show to start, a woman who was in the same “Marketing” team as me, we’ll call her Barbara, shared her anxiety about attending an interactive-comedy night and how apprehensive she was about what to expect.

“At Embankent, a local park or in your back garden perhaps – no, it was Mitch Benn and the Distractions that lit up The Bloomsbury stage tonight with a musical comedy spectacular of satire, puns and a made to order song about Prince Philip, Berlusconi and Justin Bieber…Of all the songs that were played in…
“Alun has a fantastic routine about his mortgage obligations and being tied in to being funny for its 25 year duration. I think what makes Cochrane stand out and really elevates him and his comedy above numerous other stand-ups is his complete lack of cynicism. This is most apparent when he talks about his wife…
