Matt Forde: Dishonourable Member

Entitled Dishonourable Member, you might expect this hour to be a coruscating bite at British politics. But Forde’s show turns out to be a protracted love letter to Tony Blair. The sequence about two awkward encounters with his childhood hero Brian Clough works well, but it’s all lost in the dust of ill-judged hagiography.

Udderbelly’s Pasture, 0844 545 8252, until 29 Aug, 2.55pm, £8.50–£9.50 (£7–£8).
