Benjamin Alborough review: Unruly and lively game show achieves Absolute Monopoly
The capitalist origins of Monopoly were not to be upheld, and so a Homeowners’ Association was started. One of the contestants on stage was at one point made to reveal actual proof of his mortgage. There was arm wrestling, partial nudity and a lot of milk.

Lulu Popplewell review: Sharp, witty stand-up with natural comic instincts
Lulu’s show is about addiction, recovery, mess and finding humour in everything as much as possible; Actually, Actually is as interesting and gritty as Love, Actually is not.
Rosalie Minnitt review: Clementine is utter chaos and utter glee
Rosalie is brilliant in every aspect of this show. Not only is she bursting with spirit, her delivery is hilarious and her skill as a writer, undeniable. It’s line after line of absolute bangers, each one well crafted and meticulously thought through.
