Once upon a time in a land far, far away (well, Liverpool), there was a heroic warrior called Wayne and a beautiful princess named Coleen... That, anyway, is the story of a new spoof fairytale fantasy show by one of the writers of TV's Motherland, who says it's her homage to the Rooneys.
Ian Youngs, BBC, 19th July 2025
I was keen to find out more about Jamie's show, his journey in comedy, and how he balances stand-up with the day job. And also how the flatmate feels about being a key talking point in the show.
Chris Cooke, ThreeWeeks, 19th July 2025
If your show sent a drunk text at 3am, what would it say? "It would say 'how can I help you?' while bouncing up and down maniacally, only to proceed to fall asleep and not respond."
W J Quinn, The Quintessential Review, 19th July 2025
If your show walked into a bar, what would it order? "A spicy margarita. Extra chillies. Extra chaos. Burn your throat and still leave you wanting another."
W J Quinn, The Quintessential Review, 19th July 2025
If your show walked into a bar, what would it order? "A cyanide pill. Or an ice cold beer at 11am (a la Anthony Bourdain)."
W J Quinn, The Quintessential Review, 19th July 2025
If your show had a pick-up line, what would it be? "10 years of Edinburgh Fringes, 5 sold out seasons, 1 passionate performer... and you. It's all been for this moment of us together. Let's make it count."
W J Quinn, The Quintessential Review, 19th July 2025
What's something your show reveals about you that might surprise a date? "In the past, I have already surprised a date with a huge spoiler: I-am-very-hairy."
