Jane Bostock, June 2009

Note: This review is from 2009

Review by Steve Bennett

Jane Bostock offers an audaciously dry set; full of deliberately over-long pauses and needless repetition of out-of-context phrases such as ‘Neutering helps prevent the spread of Aids among cats’ intending to reveal an inherent absurdity. The influence of Stewart Lee is obvious – though this is a difficult style to master and Bostock hasn’t yet the experience to nail it. But there are some enjoyable lines here, and her boldness of delivery certainly holds the attention.
