Emma Doran: Emmaculate : Reviews 2026 : Chortle : The UK Comedy Guide (opens the original)
Read excerpt
With wicked charm to spare, Emma Doran’s show is as good as a night out with your best friend. Her deceptively simple style is that of the chatty mate, without all the umms and errs. She would keep you in kinks laughing in a bar with a vat of prosecco on hand – and did it here too, without us being fuelled by alcohol. She eased the audience in without any high-energy antics, just smooth, smiley, expressive chat about her mother (an Everymum figure) and dad, the family Christmas and all the inter
John Robertson: Excitable Boy! : Reviews 2026 : Chortle : The UK Comedy Guide (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Visually, he’s part Rocky Horror’s Riff Raff and part musician Edgar Winter. Vocally, he’s ‘mad bloke yelling in the street’ and ‘classical actor gone rogue’, with a pleasingly Lou Reed-timbre singing voice to boot. And comedically, John Robertson’s racing mind constructs a show out of nothing every damn night. It is an extraordinary achievement. Having not done my homework, I did not know this was an improvised crowd work show, audience fully lit. I don’t think anyone remained unspoken to, whic
Tom Cashman: NPC (Nearly Proficient Comedian) : Reviews 2026 : Chortle : The UK Comedy Guide (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I suspect that nobody on the Fringe gives more bang for your buck than Tom Cashman, speaking as he does at around 250 words a minute. For a whole hour. It was quite the feat, as his brain must run at three times that speed. An Australian with ‘head boy’ energy – he’s ‘Alex Horne’ in their version of Taskmaster – Cashman invited the audience to offer him encouraging words by means of a QR code and received plenty of affirmation… plus one dry observation which he seized upon, making it a key point
Sam Serrano: Mars : Reviews 2026 : Chortle : The UK Comedy Guide (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sam Serrano has energy enough to power the National Grid and the charisma of a TV drama’s ‘queer best friend’. Or rather that should be ‘queer main character’ as they won’t be standing in anyone’s shadow for long. They’re appealingly confident in their persona and I felt the show was a rallying call for everything LGBTQ+ to be championed and the rest of us soft southern posh cunts (the comic’s words, not mine, deployed many, many times) to be thrown off a cliff. Serrano has something that makes
Amanda Dwyer: Better Than Revenge : Reviews 2026 : Chortle : The UK Comedy Guide (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Amanda Dwyer succeeds in the sub-genre of comedy that might now be called traumady. Her delicacy and restraint and her gravelly Glasgow voice complement a compelling narrative of fragile mental health being assailed by some outstandingly repugnant behaviour over a couple of decades. Her vulnerability may not have helped her in the past, but now it is her superpower on stage, and with her lack of self-pity, a decent audience should always respond positively to the pithy tales on offer. Although D
