    The Royal Variety Performance 2023

    Bradley Walsh as the host of game shows is excellent. I enjoy him on 'The Chase', I think he's brilliant.

    Oh dear though - Bradley Walsh trying to do stand-up here - woeful. His opening routine here hardly got the 2023 instalment of 'The Royal Variety Performance' off to a good start.

    If Wills and Kate were cursing their luck about drawing the short straw about having to attend this usually less than stellar event as it is, I'm sure this routine alone would have had them looking at their watches.

    Cher and a lovely Disney 100 celebration routine get things back on track, but if you're ever tempted to shell out money to see Walsh as a stand-up, watch this first.
