Chris Brain – Original Review

Note: This review is from 2002

Review by Steve Bennett

Brain (crazy name, crazy guy) is an ebullient Kiwi whose energising delivery elevates his material several divisions.

He lights up a room with an commanding stage presence that quickly diffuses into the audience, perfectly priming them for laughter.

Material, ranging from incisive topical gags to routines about blow jobs in a moving vehicle, is reasonably strong in itself, if not hugely memorable.

But it's the conviction of the performance that sweeps a crowd along into a current of easy-going laughter, making for a truly enjoyable set.
