To portray a man on stage whose reputation preceded him takes exceptional talent, to portray the wild man of British film in such demanding style deserves the largest plaudits possible and for that Rob Crouch should be taken aside and congratulated by anyone who ever worked with the Hell- raiser Oliver Reed in bringing this man’s essence back to life in the superb Oliver Reed: Wild Thing.

One of the joys of being in a city such as Liverpool is the abundance of theatres that cater for all tastes and for all actors wishing to tackle the well-trodden boards and add their names to the list of watched and admired artists.

Richard Herring is comedian whose look on life and complete honesty in his view and comedy may upset a small selection of the public but the man certainly knows how to make people laugh and judging by the cross section of society in the Epstein Theatre, he pretty much knows that Liverpool people understand him and love what he says.
The thought of the last taboo of British comedy may not be for everyone. His talented interested and intellectual approach to the thoughts of what make men and their best friend tick in his sell out show Talking C**k bordered upon the insanely genius and entertainingly superb.
