Strikingly original newbie George Cottier is truly daring in following his own course, from opening his act with an awkwardly long silence, to abruptly leaving the stage when he was through.

In between, he offers a genuinely unpredictable set, daft and quirkily obsessive, and rich with bizarre non-sequiteurs. His philosophy is never apologise, never explain, preferring to let the unique material stand on its own, even if he has to sing the old Grange Hill theme all the way through – twice – to make his point.

A bold original thinker, almost certain to make waves on the comedy circuit.
