Loved Friday night, great to see and support talented comedians during these times, and the Zoom format really works well. Thanks to Lloyd, Charlie, Laura, Tony and James - and a special mention for Sion who keeps it all together in inimitable fashion. Looking forward to the next one.

Karen J reviewed Collywobblers Comedy Lockdown Online Zoom Special : Phil Nichol, Nigel Ng, Yuriko Kotani , Joshua Robertson, & MC Sion James with special guest Tony Ukulele which happened on 8:30pm on Fri 22nd May 2020.

Excellent evening yet again. Josh was definitely a favourite. Last review was obviously taken seriously - the comedians cranked it up a notch. Compere has tenancies to paraphrase reviews slightly incorrectly (Haha!) but in saying that, filth rating was 5 stars. He's lucky he's funny too. Also - never seen such a handsome and beautiful looking audience.
