Beyond a Joke: The role and influence of critics and reviews

Join comedy expert Bruce Dessau (Beyond The Joke) and Jeremy Clay, senior lecturer in journalism at DMU in a discussion about the role that comedy critics play in a performer's career. In a landscape where traditional media struggle to survive, can a review still close a production, or drive a significant number of spectator to the 'not-to-miss' comedy show? Our panelists will discuss the evolution of their influence through their careers.
