Bait review | Riz Ahmed’s Bond-themed comedy is a stroke of hilarious, introspective genius

A star rating of 5 out of 5. *Warning: This article contains spoilers for Bait.* When it comes to comedy, many TV fans may not immediately suggest Riz Ahmed as the first choice for a series frontman that has major funny chops.

Cardi B Recovers From On-Stage Fall With Hilarious Response

Let it never be said that Cardi B doesn’t know how to laugh at herself. On Friday night, the Grammy-winning performer brought her Little Miss Drama tour to Paradise, Nevada, where she came a cropper during a rendition of her song Thotiana. After running into some difficulty during a choreo section involving a metal chair, Cardi found herself tumbling backwards, and completing the rest of her verse flat on her back. Upon finishing the song, she had a great one-liner for those in the audience, quipping: “That was the government.” The WAP performer’s comment was a reference to the recent back-and-forth she had with the White House. On the first night of her tour in Palm Desert, California last week, Cardi assured those in attendance: “Bitch, if ICE comes in here, we gon’ jump they asses. “I’ve got some bear mace in the back!

‘It’s the rubbish, female A-team!’ Derry Girl Lisa McGee on her hilarious new mystery thriller | Television

How do you follow up a show about girls in Derry? With one about women in Belfast, obviously. That’s what Lisa McGee has done. Her new eight-parter, How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, is as far away from Derry Girls as you can get when the distance between the worlds amounts to 70 miles along the A6. Or as she puts it: “I wanted a shit, female, Northern Irish A-Team!” Part thriller, part surrealist comedy, How to Get to Heaven from Belfast follows Saoirse (Roisin Gallagher), Robyn (Sinéad Keenan) and Dara (Caoilfhionn Dunne), who have been pals since their teenage years at the accurately named Our Lady of the Sorrows school – and who get dragged into a Knives Out-style mystery after the shocking death of their school friend, Greta.
