There are plenty of reasons to like Chris Addison: he has regularly roles in two top comedy series, has appeared on a cross-Atlantic movie success and seems relatively grounded.

Back in 2010, Channel 4 broadcast the all-star line-up of the 2010 comedy gala in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital, the world famous centre for caring for sick and terminally ill children. Such was the success of the event and the subsequent DVD release that in 2011 they repeatedRead More →
Mock the Week regular Andy Parsons live DVD Gruntled is out on November 14th, but what can you expect from the follow up to 2009’s Britain’s Got Idiots? Well it’s pretty much more of the same. What you get with Parsons is exactly what you should expect – ranting, someRead More →
