Frisky and Mannish: ‘extremely clever, brilliant, biting satire, without the nastiness that often accompanies this kind of humour - like a bulldog who wants to cuddle rather than fight.’

Frisky and Mannish: ‘We love to point out the ridiculousness of everything, but in a nice way. It’s a compliment if we spoof somebody - it means they’re culturally important enough to do something on.’

Interview with Chris Cox: ‘the lanky, brilliant “Award Winning Mind Reader Who Can’t Read Minds” is as cheery and exuberant an interviewee as he is on stage. Before speaking to him, I was feeling unwell - he perked me up again, a lovely comic medicine.’

Interview with Book Award nominee Jon McGregor: ‘[He] has a quiet, unassuming manner. It seems to me to reflect his wonderful collection of short stories, This Isn’t The Sort Of Thing That Happens To Someone Like You. […] “I wanted to create a certain atmosphere for the reader.” He does so, with amazing aplomb; it is a book that is unnerving, dark, and strangely whimsical.’

Nick Helm at the Soho Theatre: ‘..reeks of comic ebullience, commanding the stage like a terribly funny, sweaty dictator with a gravelly rock-star voice. His brilliantly acerbic show, ‘Dare to Dream’, is a relentless exercise in simultaneously terrifying and entrancing an audience.’

Lucian Freud vs David Hockney: ‘Freud is Keith Richards to Hockney’s Cliff Richards, bourbon to Hockney’s banana milkshake, the grubby biker in leathers to Hockney’s rainbow suits. In a fight, Freud’s portraits would hammer Hockney’s landscapes.’

London Comedy Award Nomination Nick Helm: 'I needed a password eight characters long so I picked Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.'

London Music Award Nomination Speech Debelle: ‘Visceral, verbal and startlingly talented, she is one of London’s greatest talents, and as elusive as she is brilliant: the Lesser Spotted Rapper of the UK music scene’

Alice Stride · Views 188 · Feb 27 ·

London Dance Award Nomination Alexander Whitley: ‘.. seeks to break down the barriers between dance and other art forms, infusing contemporary dance with the emotional fecundity of the ‘embodied mind’ ’

Alice Stride · Views 419 · Feb 27 ·

London Poetry Award Nomination Wendy Cope: ‘Cope goes - gently, gently and ever so charmingly - for the jugular of the soul, opening up a dialogue about things we typically find tough to talk about’

Alice Stride · Views 226 · Feb 16 ·

Film The Woman in Black: 'I was distrustful of Radcliffe’s ability to pull off the role of Arthur Kipps: a man driven to despair and forced to question the very foundations of everything he believes, in utterly terrifying circumstances. Sadly, I was correct. Watching Radcliffe is essentially watching Harry Potter in a cravat with marginally better hair, dealing with an evil ghost instead of an evil wizard.'

London Theatre Award Nomination Dennis Kelly and Tim Minchin: [on Matilda] .. the classic Roald Dahl story about a genius little bookworm who triumphs against the odds using her genius brain is now a musical that is...well, genius. Piano-pounding comedian Tim Minchin and writer Dennis Kelly are the brains behind the brilliance..'

Warwick Davis: ‘Well...I wasn’t star-struck by Johnny Depp. I was by Steve Coogan, and by Ricky and Stephen. And by Michael Jackson, actually; he came to the set of a film I was doing when I was 14.”

London Photography Award nominee Tom Oxley: ‘Amy Winehouse whipped around, grabbed my phone off me and started singing ‘Congratulations’ down the phone to my sister, who said “Fuck off - no it’s not” when I told her who it was singing’.

London Theatre Award Nomination Abi Morgan: 'Crying throughout ‘Lovesong’ is not obligatory, but it’s bloody hard not to. It reminds us that life is overwhelming and tough, that time is a mystery and love is a leap - nay, a bungee jump - of faith.'
