This Way Up review
Aisling Bea leavens a comedy about mental illness with the filthiest of jokes.
Victoria Segal, The Sunday Times, 18th July 2021
This Way Up review
Created and written by comedian Aisling Bea, it's been compared to hit series Fleabag. But we think you should put all unfair comparisons to the side, and accept this comedy series for what it is - sometimes sweet, sometimes sad, and often funny.
