Richard Morton
Since performing his sell-out show in '98, festival favourite, Richard has got married, become a dad, bought a flat, and pased his driving test fourth time. So forget about new material. Just kidding. He passed first time.

Original Review:
This very energetic comedian animates the stage from the moment he walks on, an instantly likeable chap with a warm and genuinely endearing approach. With his cheeky image, Morton hops about like a hyperactive child with a new game, and indeed a lot of his material does stem from childhood experiences. Yes, he does trot out some of the old favourites, such as parent-child role reversal, and doggedly sticks to his joke, joke, song, joke format, but new lyrics and topical material are very much evident throughout. It a joy to see that a stalwart like Morton has not become complacent, but has instead spent time and effort on maintaining a fresh and tight set, delivered with relish. And although probably not everybody's cup of tea, here is a talented entertainer who clearly excels at his craft. |
