Have to disagree with the review and agree with Mr Friendlyside. I also went to this show as a spur of the moment thing, wanting to see something different and new. You know it is a bad sign when you check your watch and it is barely ten minutes into the show. Punchlines were often obvious and very drawn out. rnrnMay have a point about him staring at an audience member though as he caught my eye a fair few times during the show, making it all the more awkward that I was not laughing. Half a star, only because I don't think you could give a review no stars, one star would be too generous though.

This review is absolute bollocks. I went to his show on a whim and regretted it within ten minutes. He was simply not funny, nor compelling and his stories are along the lines of a languid "My mates - they're hilarious so they are - I tell you. So...what else". Sorry to ruin the punchline for Chortle readers. The only reason I comment is that he's got four stars on his poster from Chortle, plus the quote "absolutely compelling". Neither are true, and spending five minutes of his lazy show building up to "Speedos for paedos" makes any association with Lynn this year embarrassing. The second worst stand up I've seen at the Fringe in seven years.
