There is always one excellent performer that the Edinburgh Comedy Award judges seem hell bent on overlooking and in 2015 it was Lolly Adefope. The versatile young comedian gathered great reviews and enthusiastic word-of-mouth buzz yet bizarrely the panel dismissed her.

I didn’t even know that Mock The Week was back last night. Or even that it had gone away. I must be watching too many reruns on Dave. But according to the BBC this was the first episode of the fifteenth, yes fifteenth, series, helmed, as ever by smiling Dara O Briain.

Russell Kane has smartened up his act. The over-excited hair and youth TV T-shirts have been replaced by tidy locks and tight jackets. Kane is finally growing up and in his new show, Right Man, Wrong Age, he explains why with considerable style.

Angela Barnes is a rising star of the comedy circuit who does what every aspiring stand-up dreams of doing. She puts the audience immediately at their ease with her friendly, chatty style. It looks effortless. It takes talent and hard work.
Well, this new topical comedy was certainly written up to the wire by Andy Hamilton and Guy Jenkin. Gags about Muhammed Ali, Mick Hucknall, Sports Direct, Harry Potter, John Major and Clinton getting the Presidential nomination confirmed that. And a topical story also gave Tory mandarin Jack Dee his best line: “Better go and stick my head in Noel Edmonds’ magic box.”
