» Reviews: Brighton Festival Fringe – Nat Tapley; In the Gloaming

Generally I don’t find someone coming on stage screaming and putting on a comedy scary voice particularly funny, so it took a bit to get past that and see what Nat Tapley was trying to do. However things picked up when Tapley transformed himself into various other characters. There was a whole haunted house worth of weird, dead people, mostly with a penchant for some kind of crime, which he used for a bit of close-to-the-bone social commentary. The impressions were excellent and there were some well thought out puns. It was more clever and amusing than laugh out loud funny, but a very original piece of comedy.

» Brighton Lights 31

Our new programme for thelatest.tv sees Juice FM presenter Guy Lloyd investigate all manner of things. He starts off with chart-topping band The Hoosiers who were mega-successful a couple of years ago, were dropped by their major label and have become fashionably independent. Their chart-topping album cost £1 million to record, their new album £100 and we reckon it's just as good. We have exclusive footage of this new record. Guy does crazy-golfing with them, checks out their sound-check and witnesses the fans' adoration of the band at Audio in Brighton. In future shows Guy will be doing waxing, Dot Cotton, air guitar and needs your suggestions for more crazy things (or people) to do. Send to bill@thelatest.co.uk
