David, Mark And Teddy: How To Fake Basic Human Emotions
Teddy Bares
With little more than a microphone to hide behind, stand-up comedy is one of the most unforgiving and terrifying of mediums to practice, and Teddy has been through the blender.

Original Review:
Teddy is a sweet lad, with wit and gags at his fingertips and a painful, bitter story of unrequited infatuation to tell, reliving a fairly horrible period of rejection. It is sometimes excruciating to listen to, and though the laughs are there, they are too often buried in this over-intimate description of his own hurt. Teddy is self-deprecating to a fault; his delivery lacks confidence and his very presence feels like an act of bravery. He has come to open his soul, which is not always a fun evening, even if there is a liberal sprinkling of good gags. When he finally gets to his single sexual encounter with the object of his desires, the audience’s sympathies are firmly with him. Were that not the case what follows would be tortuous listening. No wonder he gives the impression he has undertaken a very brave thing here. His obvious unease on stage does nothing to soothe the awkwardness in the material, that is just never going to be easy to hear. This is not the sort of thing you’d want to subject yourself to if you were feeling a bit low. But Teddy is an endearing, funny young man. When he finally gets over this woman and finds something else to talk about, he’ll be worth seeing. Reviewed by: Chloe Smith |

I laughed more at this show than I did at any of the big hitter shows put together and ten times over at this year's fringe. Teddy has a high hit rates of gags, and this is a terrific heart felt story. I think the fact that he has written such a strong and funny story out of his experience shows he probably is well and truly over the heartbreak and has turned it into a positively great performance. louise, August 2008 |

Go see him. He's funnier on a bad night than the corporate joke blowers are on their best. Simply real, raw, but always with an unexpected line. He wants nothing more than for you to experience his pain and then to laugh at it. Sal Sunday, August 2008 |

I think this reviewer has missed the point of Teddy’s show. I found Teddy to be a very confident performer, with a well structured show that combines a tale from the heart with some witty, self deprecating one liners. The fact that he 'bares all' is the reason for the show, and his vulnerability is more of a character trait, than a failure as a performer. Teddy is a storyteller who has found the right balance between pathos and a wicked sense of cynicism; I'm more inclined with the List's assessment of four stars.
