It's a little dirty, incredibly charming and a tad tongue in cheek and marks McGinlay as one to watch in coming years.
In a converted shipping container with folding chairs sardines together Danny McGinlay plays a less-than-impressively sized crowd well: this is gold class comedy he tells the handful present, urging us to put our feet up on empty seats as he launches into Hypertonic: a collection of truly bizarre anecdotes from his first year of marriage and a globe trotting honeymoon.
An SCF debutant, McGinlay is occasionally a little too Melbourne in his references and humour, but aside from a few boonana'd footy jokes he has the audience in stitches. While some material is far from fresh – Japanese toilets and loud Americans – McGinlay gives it a solid unique spin. It's a little dirty, incredibly charming and a tad tongue in cheek and marks McGinlay as one to watch in coming years.
