Russel Peters - Red, White and Brown

As a general rule, DVDs of stand-up comedy aren’t nearly as funny as the live show. The atmosphere isn’t the same in a living room as it is in a packed out club or venue, be it the Comedy Store in London, or New York’s Madison Square Garden, the latter theatre being the setting for Russell Peters’ new DVD, Red, White and Brown, filmed last February to a full house.

Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding

Granted, I love The Mighty Boosh. And so do you. My friends like it too, and yours say they do because they’ve seen it twice. They say they’re ‘a bit random’ – “Ima bit random” – in their About Me on Facebook, they say their music taste is ‘eccentric’, and they’re currently sporting a checked shirt in combination with skinny jeans, grey socks, deaded Converse, and a Mighty Boosh t-shirt. Nothing worse than wearing the merch of the act you’re going to see, nothing worse I say. … Continue Reading

The Last Four… things at the Edinburgh Fringe which were great

November 23, 2008 Columns, Comedy Comments

The Pajama Men at the Edinburgh Fringe

Now then, this is a way far too long ago retrospective but better late than never. Here’s my top finds from the Edinburgh Fringe 2008 – or more precisely, the last four things at the Edinburgh Fringe which were great. And oh boy, were they good. A special mention must also go out to Feast Of The Ants, The Return of the Scottish Falsetto Sock Puppet Theatre and Song – all of which were astoundingly unique, capitulating what makes the Fringe so special.

Mike Doughty – London Relentless Garage

February 2nd 2010
“I want to be on you”.  Ron Burgundy’s “immortal words” are those chosen by Mike Doughty to sell himself to the British public.
Doughty, formerly of alt-rock band Soul Coughing, is pretty popular in the States, but relatively unknown here.  My question referred to selling himself to us in the style of a dating [...]

Win tickets to see Casiokids in London

Casiokids.jpg

Norway's electro pop quintet CASIOKIDS play Camden’s Barfly on February 25, and we're giving away a pair of tickets.

After the release of a few stellar singles in 2009, 2010 is looking exciting for this lot. Their bouncy percussive basement music, eerie melody and distorted bass are the product of inspiration from such diverse sources as Paul Simon's 'Graceland', Ivor Cutler, King Tubby, Bob Hund, Cornelius And Fela Kuti.

To win tickets, just answer the following question:

Which label are CASIOKIDS signed to?
