Addy Van Der Borgh: Advanced Mumbo Jumbo
Live Review

 rated 2/5
Addy Van Der Borgh: Advanced Mumbo Jumbo

It's a shame to have to shoot the puppy that is Addy Van Der Borgh's enthusiasm and geniality, but I feel that it has to be done. While by no means an unpleasant hour Advanced Mumbo Jumbo is pretty basic in both it's premise (words don't always equate to truths) and it's delivery.

For me Van Der Borgh is very much a comic actor rather than a comedian, with routines that are often very much about exaggerating a performance than stressing a point.

An example of this is his straightforward riff on the note that a gas man ‘endeavoured’ to come and read his meter. From this he goes off into a Shakespearian direction, then as if he were a sports commentator and reading the meter was a sporting event.

If you are someone for who whom an expressive face, a silly accent and some nifty harmonica playing is enough to keep you happy, you won't be disappointed. But if you seek insight and wordplay, you'll be frustrated.

I am pretty sure that Van Der Borgh has funny bones but there is much more scope for him to put meat on these bones and flex some comedy muscles.

Seen this guy twice at Cleethorpes Comedy Store in a 4 month span. It's a shame the routine was exactly the same except for a heckle!

Saw Addy at Komedia Brighton probably never laughed so much in my life. Would love to see a longer show. one of the best. all of us loved it. Thanks for a great nite

Hi Scott. My name is infact ADDY so you must have me muddled up with someone else old chap. Either that or you're just an ignorant little man who can't copy and paste. Addy

Saw Andy’s Fringe show on the 7th. Was my first show of the festival and booked based on Chortle reviews. Set was slow, amateurish and very predictable. Part of the act involved him playing harmonica so long I assume he was killing time. In the end though I thought he was a better musician than comedian. Based on raving reviews and his confortable banter with crowd I can only assume he was trying out new material but it was so poor and staged I would be hesitant to spend money to prove it was just an off night. Audience was unenthusiastic so don’t think I am a lone dissenter!

Saw Addy at The Fighting Cocks, Kingston. Had us all reeling with laughter. Great jokes. Love the Shakespearian style! Will definitely go to see again!

Saw Addy in the Stand last night. Guy is a genius, from the drunken semen to the alcohol to the three stages of farting in front of your missus!

Chris K, February 2008


Absolutely amazing! Have seen him twice in two weeks at two different venues in Bristol and he was just as hilarious the second time round! He had a difficult audience who spent most of the evening talking over the other comics in absolute stitches. Would love to see him perform again.

Saw him at Covent Garden Comedy Club and haven't seen anything quite as funny as him since, his talking alcohol piece is a classic, if you can...see him!
