Stan Stanley – Original Review

Note: This review is from 2004

Review by Steve Bennett

This warm and likeable Brummie has a quirky, jokey approach, producing a gently mocking set with plenty in the way of enjoyable highlights.

With timing Accurist would be proud of, and a nicely twisted outlook on the world, his distinctive style is proving a success on the circuit.

The clever and satirical observations at the heart of his set have more of an edge than their light-hearted treatment would suggest - and it's all accompanied with big, deliberate mimes that could seem stagey, but actually hit their mark brilliantly.

He might lack the polish of more established acts, but that's no big deal considering his naturally funny outlook and an industrious approach to new material. One to watch, for sure.
