Frank Skinner is to headline a new edition of one of the UK’s biggest outdoor comedy festivals, as Cobra presents Comedy at the Castle expands to historic landmark Powderham in Exeter, Devon on Friday 18 and Saturday 19 July 2025.
After two successful years welcoming thousands of comedy fans to the original event at Warwick Castle, organisers - rated one of the top trusted brands in the West Midlands - are now bringing the major food, drink, and live comedy offer to the South West.
This second series of Am I Being Unreasonable? is proving to be a real up and down affair. After a disappointing first episode and and brilliant second episode this third instalment feels a little like treading water. And quite muddled water at that.
A nice bit of good timing on Richard Osman's House of Games this week. One of the guests, alongside Chris Bisson, Danielle Harold and Katharine Merry is comedian, actor, writer Robert Webb.
I hadn't heard anything about Robert Webb in a while, apart from seeing him in a straight acting role in the drama Whitstable Pearl, but last week, out of the blue, it was announced that he is reuniting with David Mitchell to make a new sketch show.
New comedy series The Chief, a spin-off from the award-winning Scot Squad series, is written by, and stars, Jack Docherty as Chief Commissioner Cameron Miekelson.
The series sees The Chief wrestle with contemporary dilemmas and workplace politics, while trying his best to remain relevant in an ever-changing world. Thankfully, he’s got his trusty team by his side. Or so you’d think.
Comedian Iain Stirling has said that he will do a gig topless if he can fill half the venue.
The Scottish stand-up was chatting to Chris Moyles on his Radio X show when Moyles talked him about his upcoming tour and asked: “Where are you not as popular?”
This year's Komedia New Comedy Award final got off to a great start. I was one of the judges and when I arrived our table was groaning with chicken pieces, halloumi fries, chips. Definitely how to win over a journalist's heart – if you don't stop it beating first. After this though things did go slightly downhill until victory was snatched from the jaws of defeat by some of the stronger, later acts.
Edinburgh-based boutique Comedy Management and Production company MZA has announced three all-star 2025 Edinburgh Fringe comedy shows at Just the Tonic’s "Nucleus" venue hub.
Hit Channel 4 comedy Big Mood will be returning for a second outing. Nicola Coughlan (Bridgerton, Derry Girls) will return as Maggie and Lydia West (It’s A Sin, Inside Man) will return as Eddie, following a hugely successful first series that was Channel 4 streaming’s highest new comedy launch since Derry Girls.
Emmy Award-winning actor Kiefer Sutherland (Designated Survivor, 24) and actress, writer and producer Rebel Wilson (Bridesmaids, Pitch Perfect, JoJo Rabbit) are filming Sky's new Christmas comedyTinsel Town across the North of England and at Leeds’ Versa Studios.
I was reading recenty that there was a TV sitcom crisis, that broadcasters weren't making sitcoms any more. Well you could've fooled me. Channel 4 has Big Boys returning later this week and tonight not one but two sitcoms come to BBC One. Later there is the second series of Am I Being Unreasonable? but first there is Amandaland. And it's absolutely fabulous.
