News and Reviews for this Show

August 8, 2024  Edinburgh Reviews 3.5 stars Love (Sic) is about heartbreak, divorce and finding your best coping mechanisms to deal with the s*** life throws at you. Free and fun comedy that’s particularly relatable to divorcees. Click Here

August 6, 2024  The Scotsman Glenn's wife left him in December last year and they are divorced. There are only two other divorces in the room tonight, so Glenn doesn't get much empathy. But he gets plenty sympathy, because he is a lovely guy, and he gets laughs, because he is a very funny lovely guy. His decades are talking him through his trauma, and he is coping well enough to bring us some quality 'genius jokes'. Few comics attempt that particular comedy niche, but Glenn's Einstein material achieves the Holy Trinity of stand up – funny, clever, and shocking. He has thoughts on British colonialism, hates acronyms, is not at all fond of Ipswich and has some breathtaking stuff on the Royals. This part of the hour is proper old school, stand-up rage and it is wonderful to see. Luckily and legally, truth is an absolute defence to an allegation of libel up here. Fans of Russell Brand are also in for a shock. Glenn is much 'craftier' than he looks with his set. The highs and lows, the tirades and the silences, are cleverly put together. Still getting shivers about Charlie's fingers. Kate Copstick Click Here
