This is a poor review. It takes the patronising line of dismissing both the performer and the audience for being too "local". Yes this comedian's set does rely largely on jokes about his home-town, but people laugh because Navan is seen as the dead-centre of middle-Ireland, with a host of specific sociological and cultural quirks understood by people who live in this country. An Irish comedian doing this isn't the same as, say, a comedian from Glasgow doing a whole set about Glasgow.
