Clive Anderson meets James Corden in The Not So Late Show

Think Vic Reeves' Big Night Out, crossed with Clive Anderson Talks Back and chuck in a bit of The Late Show with James Corden and you still haven't quite got The Not So Late Show.

You’re as close as you’ll get though.

An alternative comedy chat show, organisers Ross Brierley and Joshua Sadler make the claim that many event organisers make – that it is the only one of its kind around. The truth is, having seen it, I can confirm that it is a highly entertaining, very unusual, night out.

Hosted by radio presenters Brierley and Sadler, it looks like a chat show, featuring sketches, special guests and essentially organised chaos, marshalled by the two genial hosts.

Previously housed at the HiFi Club and Wharf Chambers in Leeds, next week the event moves to The Wardrobe, in the cultural quarter of Leeds, surrounded by Northern Ballet, Leeds College of Music and West Yorkshire Playhouse, marking a move into the big leagues. The venue also clearly has confidence in the event – next week’s show marks the first in a monthly series, with dates booked in for March 15 and April 5.

The move to a bigger venue sees the duo bringing to the stage, along with Leeds stand-up Peter Brush and other guests.

The Not So Late Show, The Wardrobe, Leeds, Tuesday, February 2. Tickets at www.rossandjosh.co.uk or on the door.
