Steve Coogan has spoken about the crisis in live comedy as it remains one of the few activities that can still not go ahead despite lockdown restrictions being eased.
People can now go to the theatre in the open and presumably can attend any comedy gigs in the open air. There have already been a few stand-up gigs performed to small crowds al fresco.
I'm going to do a thing that I don't think I've ever seen a critic do before. I'm going to say that my review was wrong. When I reviewed the first episode of the latest series of The Trip, set in Turkey and Greece, I wrote how I was disappointed by it. Having watched the first episode I felt that the tone had changed.
It's the fourth series of The Trip and this time Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan have gone all Greek on us, retracing the footsteps of Homer's Odyssey, albeit with better cuisine.
I was really looking forward to this series, once again directed by Michael Winterbottom and also starring Claire Keelan as their long-suffering fixer, and the opening scene has a couple of excellent jokes about Brydon's dislike of camping. The portents seem good, but somehow this early exchange is the high point of the scene-setting episode.
Channel 4 has commissioned Chivalry, a six-part comedy drama from Baby Cow Productions. Written by and starring Sarah Solemani (Him and Her, Barry) and Steve Coogan (Alan Partridge, Philomena) Chivalry skewers and satirises the complex state of contemporary sexual politics, while asking if romance can survive in the post #MeToo era.
Sony Pictures UK has released the first trailer and poster for Michael Winterbottom’s satire GREED. Starring multiple BAFTA award-winning actor Steve Coogan (Alan Partridge series, Stan & Ollie), GREED will be released in cinemas across the UK & Ireland on Friday, 21st February 2020.
Rob Brydon and Steve Coogan have started shooting the new series of the Trip.
Welshman Rob Brydon posted this picture on Twitter confirming the news that the new series will see the duo embarking on a gourmet journey around Greece.
The series follows their dup's previous hits The Trip, The Trip To Italy and The Trip To Spain.
Steve Coogan won a British Academy Television Award for Best Male Comedy Performance for The Trip in 2011 and Rob Brydon was nominated for the same award for The Trip To Spain in 2018.
Four weeks after Stan & Ollie debuted in the Official Film Chart, the film has jumped up a massive 28 places to reach Number 1 following its release on disc.
Stan & Ollie stars Steve Coogan and John C Reilly and follows the legendary comedy duo as they attempt to reignite their film careers on a gruelling theatre tour of post-war UK. Their relationship is put to the test, with their future hanging in the balance.
Stan & Ollie, which tells the untold story of classic double act Laurel and Hardy and stars Steve Coogan and John C Reilly, is to be released on Digital Download on 6th May and on Blu-ray & DVD on 3rd June 2019.
Steve Coogan has been nominated for a Best Actor for his performance as Stan Laurel in Stan & Ollie. Will he win? Follow the results here..
The Favourite, starring Olivia Colman, has won Outstanding British Film, the Make Up and Hair award, Production Design, Best original screenplay and Rachel Weisz has won Best Supporting Actress for her performance in it and Olivia Colman won Leading Actress.
Steve Coogan has just picked up a BAFTA nomination for his performance as Stan Laurel in this new movie, which seems a bit harsh on his co-star John C Reilly, who plays Oliver Hardy. But then maybe that's the nature of double acts and something reflected in this touching, funny film. When two very different talents work together as a team how do you keep things equal and on an even footing?
