Show Rating:

In the event, this is an inoffensive hour of cheerful, lightweight whimsy from the amiable Davis Wateracre. There really is very little substance here, but he is a very nice man.

The light-hearted subject of politeness suits him; with ever-smiling face, he indulges in cheerful banter with the audience as he asks us about a few moral dilemmas, and how we would react in that situation. Not much depth or discussion, just a bit of fun.

Alongside this are a lot of modestly sweet songs – thought the repetition of the cutesy acoustic-guitar style does become dull after a while – and a recurring scene of a would-be adventurer writing his slightly bizarre diary about his quest to tunnel through the earth.

Quite how these three separate strands hold together is a mystery, but they do, just enough for an hour of lunchtime froth. It would be impolite to award any fewer stars; inaccurate to award any more.
