Grace Mulvey: Gigantica : Reviews 2026 : Chortle : The UK Comedy Guide (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The premise of Irish stand-up Grace Mulvey’s third highly personal hour, Gigantica, is that she has a massive head and looks exactly like her dad. She has a slideshow of family photographs to confirm the likeness and even measures an audience member’s head. Not in a eugenics way, but to prove definitively that hers is bigger. As the affable butt of her own jokes, the comedian presides over this extroverted, welcoming hour like the funniest and loudest hen on a hen do. Mulvey – who is also co-hos
Cecily Hitchcock: Family Recipe : Reviews 2026 : Chortle : The UK Comedy Guide (opens the original)

Catamaran charts a voyage for paternal intima

Read excerpt
From the damp, dark corners of Paul Hilleard’s enquiring mind emerge moving questions like, ‘Are worms wriggling in ecstasy or agony?’ Trouble is, if you walked into Grogg optimistically opting for ecstasy, you might leave suspecting they’re in agony after all. Paul Hilleard grew up in Pontypridd in the South Wales Valleys and now performs on the Bristol comedy circuit, won the BBC New Comedy Award in 2024, was a finalist for Channel 4’s Sean Lock Comedy Award the following year and has been nam
