B48Y Crash Lands on Earth! : Reviews 2026 : Chortle : The UK Comedy Guide (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A luminous yellow, extremely camp alien crash-lands into a gay bar to deliver a chaotic, lively and poignant exploration of queer identity and otherness. Lukas Meintjes uses voice and physicality to brilliant effect in this hour of play that takes his audience on a journey of self-discovery that is well-structured and touching. His fawning, flirtatious alien speaks in strange, squeaky sounds and clicks that are immediately amusing and gradually become a shared language in the room. Scattered aro
Claire Robin: Nun Slut : Reviews 2026 : Chortle : The UK Comedy Guide (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A nun with some unholy habits makes the audience her congregation in this cheeky, irreverent and personal exploration of Claire Robin’s faith. Playful and risqué throughout, Robin highlights the contrast between restrictive Christian dogma and our underlying sexual needs. She uses games, songs, character and props well. There is some good audience participation, and Robin’s facial expressions are particularly funny. But her energy on the day was a little low. Her impression of Jesus gets big lau
The Passion of Mr Cardboard : Reviews 2026 : Chortle : The UK Comedy Guide (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A bell on stage summons Mr Cardboard from a faraway land to treat the audience to a silly, charming, evocative hour of clowning. The standout moment here is when Miles Calderon completely improvises with body and voice, moving as if he were a puppet for the audience’s entertainment, sensing their laughs and leaning into them. Tonight, this ended with him moving through the space on hands and knees, oinking like a pig to a room full of belly laughs. One imagines that Mr Cardboard, whose accent so
Rosie Holt: The Illegal Aliens Have Landed! : Reviews 2026 : Chortle : The UK Comedy Guide (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Aliens have landed in every city on Earth, and a dithering backbench Labour MP has the task of managing the situation. In telling this story, Rosie Holt skilfully switches through characters and scenarios, weaving in audience participation and a range of perspectives while delivering her usual sharp satire. Drawing a crowd who are most likely to be familiar with her from short, viral online sketches, Holt easily holds the attention for an hour. She is skilful in the transitions between character
Underground Monk Show : Reviews 2026 : Chortle : The UK Comedy Guide (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Four Monks discover a source of magical water that leads them into realms of dream and self-discovery, encountering some of life’s great rites and rituals - from birth to death to… nightclubs. This all-star cast is of such high-performing pedigree that, coupled with the show’s previous sellout, cult success here, they shoulder the added burden of absurdly high expectations. The show gained its renown in its previous, intimate home in the caverns of the Banshee Labyrinth, which are a perfect sett
