Comedy Review
Comedy Review was a British comedy magazine published by Future Publishing which ran for five issues in 1996.[1] The editor was Andy Lowe with Damien Noonan as associate editor and Danny Wallace, then 19 years old, as staff writer.
According to its original cover strapline, the magazine covered "TV, Stand-up, Films, Radio, Theatre, Books, Videos and Other Amusing Media". The last of these was dropped from the strapline after one issue, and "Theatre" vanished after three. Regular items included a reprinted "Classic Interview", a transcript of a classic scene from a sitom or comedy film, dubbed "Masterpiece", an episode guide to a comedy TV series and a column by Peter Baynham.
