John A reviewed President Obonjo: President Obonjo stole my identify which happened on 10:00pm on Sat 18th Jun 2022.

I recall seeing Stephen K Amos taking on a similar character some years ago in Edinburgh to good effect and this portrayal was of equal merit. However the 'black dictator' gag wore a little thin too early and maybe the revelation that he was actually someone else should have come sooner. The gags worked well at times..the funniest being the reference to the Halifax man. There is a more interesting story in there somewhere. Overall well performed.

John A reviewed Sarah Mills: BADASS ( A love note to the NHS) which happened on 8:45pm on Sat 18th Jun 2022.

I found the story more informative than amusing. Having experienced the cancer business, chemo, radiotherapy with my wife and then for myself I know parts of cancer treatment be comedic and a little haphazard but Sarah's experiences came across as a little self indulgent. Some of the NHS references resonated but is it really understaffed....no it isn't. It is just inefficient and frankly poor 'value for money'. I felt sorry for Sarah who clearly is a naturally funny person but she needs to tell another story, find a different vehicle. This show goes to Edinburgh. It needs a hell of a tweak and some lessons in how to use the technology. Good luck with it. Return with something a little more subtle. By the way my wife died, not of cancer. Just remember joking about serious illnesses is tricky. I am sure you are a nice person...let that part of your personality come through.
