Daniel Sloss's critically acclaimed stand-up show X is to be screened in Vue cinemas all over the UK. The screenings will take place on Friday 21st February.
Dave comedy Sliced is to returni for another series. Sliced is co-written by its BAFTA-nominated star Samson Kayo (Famalam), who plays Joshua, a down-on-his-luck pizza delivery driver in south London.
Samson Kayo said, “We go again! I’m so excited to be back on Dave with series two. Last series was just a taster, now it’s go time! I’m looking forward to creating some more explosively funny and authentic stories with this amazingly talented team.”
In 2014 I interviewed Terry Jones for Reader's Digest. The piece coincided with an exhibition at the British Museum that historian Jones was speaking at. But maybe of greater importance, it had just been announced that Monty Python shows were to take place at the 02 Arena. Jones was probably the most affable interviewee I have ever encountered.
Edinburgh Comedy Award winner Richard Gadd's acclaimed play Baby Reindeer will play a strictly limited London run at the Ambassadors Theatre ahead of a New York transfer to BAM in May 2020.
It's always exciting to see a new TV series from Armando Iannucci.

But here he is back with a bang with Avenue 5, a comedy set in space and starring Hugh Laurie.
Acclaimed anthology series Inside No. 9 is to return in February.

The first episode will be The Referee's A W***er. It co-stars Ralf Little and David Morrissey and is "a tale of promotion, relegation, corruption, and so, so much more."
Flo & Joan's publicist asked me to ensure that I put an ampersand and not the full word "and" between their names when I wrote this review. I guess the musical comedy duo want to exert the same sort of precision over their billing as they do over their lyrics. Each of their songs in their current show is so intricately and neatly constructed they could probably moonlight building rockets for NASA or Swiss wind-up watches.
Simon Munnery reprises his legendary, cult comedy creation, Alan Parker: Urban Warrior for a national tour, which may possibly also be Parker's farewell tour..
