Last month (November 23rd & 24th to be precise) saw the MCM Comic Con and Memorabilia show take place at the NEC in Birmingham.

Welcome to this week’s results and review of WWE RAW. The first RAW of December is under way. The show opens with “Cult of Personality” by Living Colour playing and CM Punk making his way down the aisle and to the squared circle as we see a replay of The Shield attacking Punk last week. [...]
When it comes to television shows it’s fair to say that Kevin Williamson knows what he is doing.

There are many things that make Adam Hills a good comedian, but the fact is he is more than that and it’s all from his own choice. When the Special Olympics were riding the success of the Olympics and making people realise that this sports events were just as important, he became in many ways [...]
I will admit this week feels like a long week, turns out watching so many stand-up comedy DVD releases is a tiring task. I’ve sat through the comedy created to shock, the comedy related to make you think a little and comedy that didn’t really need brain power at all. I’ve still got a few [...]

The name Sean Lock: Purple Van Man is very fitting. I saw him do an interview about the release and he said that what he was aiming for was to be the “white van man” of comedy, only where a white van man believes he knows everything, the Purple Van Man doesn’t really know anything, [...]
