Alun Cochrane has a view that the world isn't in the dire place that the media would put it in. Having a son and suddenly having to "get good" at comedy has led him to review all sorts of things. These range from the typically scaremongering stories from others when announcing his girlfriend's pregnancy to musing on what would cause a man to squash £49 of truffles. He is peevish about all sorts of things such as fabric conditioner and dogs but balances each downbeat observation with something that cheers him up. The show builds steadily to an extremely funny climax calling back to most of his thoughts. None of this is leading edge but so what. This show is definitely worth a visit and just misses out on 5 stars
