Seventies throwback Carl Donnelly is 24, going on 13, as proven by a routine that’s not ashamed to be petty and childish. But there’s a hell of a lot of innocent fun to be had from this uncomplicated standpoint.
He recounts an encounter with some actual teenagers – taking stupid glee in outsmarting them – has a nice line in ‘your mum…’ insults and describes himself, unironically, as a prankmaster. This is not sophisticated stuff, but it is funny, and delivered with just the right amount of conviction.
Try-out night with Richard Atherton, Jane Hill, Rob Coleman, James Mason, Tom Roche, Tennyson Hanbury, Guy Combes, Mike Wozniak, Albion Gray, Tom Meltzer, Yad Barzingji, Sean Walsh, Andy Paton, George Watts
