Harry Hill's Clubnite

I tuned in every week for the tiny sliver of stand-up that Harry did... For which it gets the one star. The rest is dreadful. Awful, unfunny, woke comedians, each desperately plying a different gimmick (one of them an embarrassingly bad weightlifting comedienne!) Can't we just have somebody who stands there and says funny things? Attaching Harrys name to this was a real cheat, as he played a relatively minor role in it. Get back to what you do best, Harry

From the opening cover songs to the audience member as dancing as a hamster in the finale, this is perfect viewing for late Friday nights. Love that he has new and weird comedy acts on. Most have been brilliant and even the ones I don't get are entertaining in their surrealness. I really hope they make more.

I felt compelled to write this review having seen the other review by stuartpbottomley . Maybe if like stuart, you think the latest spider-man film is the best superhero film of all time (!!), you won't enjoy clubnite. If, however, you enjoy something a little little bit more left-field (think vic and bob's shooting stars, James Acaster's netflix special, I don't know anything not 100% observational) then I'd bet you'll enjoy it. I think this shows Harry Hill at his best. His entrance each week is marked by a karaoke version of various songs (so far including work by Lizzo, the Pixies, The Cure, etc) and then a short routine by Harry. He then introduces the first act, who performs for about 5-10 minutes. He has apparently picked the acts for each week himself - and it shows, there's an element of surrealism that I haven't seen elsewhere on national TV this year. One of my favourite segments is when audience members are asked to sit on a seesaw with a washing machine on the other end. If they weigh the same, the win it (but they must take it home immediately after the recording). So far, apart from episode 3 (a bit of a let down), the others have been nearly flawless. luv it

I've given this two stars because that's how many time I laughed at this. The acts come from the bottom of a barrel that someone found at the bottom of another barrel. Is Harry Hill past his sell by date. To spend anymore time reviewing this would be wasteful as watching it was.

This sort of felt like kids tv made for adults. They have a really varied range of stand-ups, double acts, music acts, a woman dressed up some grapes, stuff that really pushes the boundaries of what qualifies as comedy. And (mostly) nobody complains about Trump or PC culture, which is a welcome relief. Really hope they do another series.
