Gary Delaney, Comedy Review. Unity Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

Strap yourself in and prepare for a ride, for in comedy there really should be as few barriers as possible in the pursuit of making people laugh, an audience of every conceivable demographic enjoying a Saturday night in the company of friends, loved ones and dismissing the dreadfulness of what passing for the beige appeal of weekend television and the over dramatic obliteration of hearing as the latest one-hit wonder blares out across a crowded, bland room.

Tiffany Stevenson, Seven. Comedy Review. Unity Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 9/10

It doesn’t seem five minutes since Tiffany Stevenson was wowing the crowds at this year’s Edinburgh Festival and yet in the month since she has been to America to discuss a film, reaffirmed her belief that Donald Trump is bad for women as well as others who may share the land of the free but somehow great for comedians and that somewhere along the line Giant Hogs are as dangerous a prospect in Louisiana as the possibility of Isis striking a direct hit in the swamps and that the great state relies heavily upon guns, lots of guns, weapons carried in full view and more than likely allowed in the disturbing scenes associated with a particular porn empire.

It will be the last time that the Liverpool Comedy Festival will be housed in the Unity Theatre before it begins its major refurbishment at the beginning of next year, and leading us into the festival is acclaimed Australian comedian Bec Hill. After making the finals of the Raw act competition in her native country and wining the Barry Award for best show in Edinburgh 2014, this comedian has gathered quite a following with her quirky style of comedy.

Adam Rowe, Comedy Review. Unity Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * *

It takes courage to get up on stage and bare your soul at the best of times. It takes the will to be seen as different, to know how to be taken for something novel and distinctive that makes people want to come and watch you perform; everybody has a talent in this world, it is to understand the way in which it is sold that will mark you out as fresh and interesting to watch.

Jeremy Hardy, Comedy Review. Unity Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

There is a simmering volcano that surely lives in the heart of Jeremy Hardy, a volcano that just wants to burst open and let the clouds of ash, pumice and lava fall where it must and melt what it can. It is a volcano that many would like to see crack open, devour a certain section of the population and then serenely go on biding his time until the next idiot comes along and pokes the genuine joy within to the point where explosions of distaste are vented once more.
