The Stand Up Show 2002 “I’ve seen a lot of stand-up recently; you could say I’ve been suffering from the rare (but
potentially fatal) ‘stand-up fatigue’ syndrome. However, I can still appreciate fantastic comedy when I see it, and I
saw some great stuff at Circa Studio on Saturday night. This unlikely duo delivered delightful first-class comedy, from
the crude to the squeaky-clean. Put them together and what you get is a spectrum of polished, and professional stand-up
comedy”. Reviewer: Holly Shanahan
