From this review I cannot recognise the show I saw (twice) in any way, shape or form. I have seen many shows in Edinburgh, many very established performers and Alan has as many as, if not more belly laughs. One chap fell off his chair, he was laughing so hard. Alan does stand up comedy, no frills, no spraying himself blue and pretending to be a fish, but gut wrenchingly funny and very well written comedy. He is well respected amongst his comedy peers, those who know about comedy.

Extraordinarily harsh review...and a very different show from the one I saw - where admittedly there was no audience participation. The show I saw was witty, sharp and ots of fun, and our audience definitely still loved Alan Carr at the end. Warm but catty, like your favorite gossip, he drew us into his razor-edged take on the everyday world. Marvellous stuff.
