REVIEW ’24: A PANEL

Review ’24: A Panel is a comedy experiment where someone who doesn’t really follow the news much writes a ‘year in review’ style show to celebrate the 2024 that was and failing that, to have a few good laughs. Join your host Jarrod Cook as he recaps a silly selection of goings on from the latest year on record and puts four very special guests through their paces as they clamour to score ‘points’ and generally work out what’s going on.

Jarrod Cook is an emerging (from where it is not known) comic, mostly known for all the great things he will do in the future.
