Binge Thinking

There’s something quaintly old-fashioned about the Steve Williams shtick and his Binge Thinking is all the better for it. An array of well-worn targets (the British and their attitude to queues), are given fresh hurricanes of life with his amiable and professional delivery and a distinct fondness for jokes about animals. If you’re tired of comics trying to be too clever with their crazy concepts, a shot of old school Williams might do the trick. (Brian Donaldson)
