Awsum upped the ante with the stakes of ridiculousness in his show this year. The laughs he got in the packed out, sweltering venue were some of the loudest I'd heard yet.

I was intrigued about going to see Noman's Land. Intrigued about how a former journalist in Pakistan was now in the business of giving a one-woman show.

Perfect Arc/Absolute Chaos. A phrase mentioned at the start of the show, and it describes it perfectly. This show is mad. Absolutely bonkers. Surreal. Abstract, and many other synonyms for just plain barmy!

Politics, being Scottish, McDonalds, dieting and vegetarianism are the order of the day for this standup show, with BAFTA nominated Iain Stirling.

The Wonderful Life is a routine made by and for geeks. A lover of geekery comes into his own as Lieven Scheire.

I went to see the Hampstead Murder Mystery at the behest of Jo. I'm glad she asked me to.

Will Durst's show is filled with original observations about the humorous aspects of the baby boomer generation's way of life.
