NORTH WEST END UK MANCHESTER 2021 17.08.21 Bumblebee review - “Comic, and semi-tragic, memories from childhood are blended with a Charlie Brooker style take down of the villains of politics, economics and social media, from the last 12 months. For a stand up to create something which united the entire audience in laughter, oozed pathos, and in an almost tangible sense ‘connected’ the whole room, and for it to have been written in the isolation of a post-burgled house is no mean feat and testament to a very exciting talent indeed.” Mumble Comedy 05.08.21 - Total Entertainment preview Bumblebee 09.07.21 Chortle and BeyondTheJoke preview Nathan's Edinburgh show Bumblebee and the Edinburgh Fringe Fringe
