Entertainment from Wednesday, November 26th, 2025

When was the last time you had a proper belly laugh? The lovely folk at Cartoon Network have come up with a top ten list of the things that make us laugh the most, and you know I'm a sucker for a light hearted chart. I have to say WhatsApp chats with my friends do provide frequent laughs, but a lot of the news cycle these days is pure doom and gloom. Perhaps the 'and finally' quirky story at the end of the bulletin needs to make a comeback, especially having just endured weeks of budget speculation and so-called 'kite flying'.. Social media can be an angry place too, as I've written in the pas

The big release in the run-up to Christmas is Wicked : For Good, and I hopped on my broomstick to watch it on the Didsbury Superscreen. It has received broadly positive reviews, but many critics have apparently been left feeling a little underwhelmed compared to the first film.

Top Hat swept into the Manchester Opera House with all the shimmer, charm, and old-school pizzazz you could hope for, and I left the theatre thoroughly enchanted.
