Times obituary writer Liam Mullone may have ostentatious hair that’s dangerously close to Flock Of Seagulls, but his material is in much better shape.

As befits a journalist, he mixes a sharp cynicism with devious, sophisticated wordplay, with a few intelligent references thrown into the impressive mix.

He manages to achieve this through a slightly otherworldly persona, wandering through life in a befuddled daze, yet managing to be articulate and efficient in his delivery.

Though still relatively new to stand-up, his witty, slightly detached fare suggests a promising future ahead.
