Jack Druce: Unqualified Life Coach

If the true test of great stand-up is the ability to leave the audience with a sore jaw from smiling so incessantly, then 22-year-old Jack Druce has a long and promising comedy career in front of him. Given his age, you'd be forgiven for thinking that he is the new kid on the block but in fact, this is Druce's fifth time performing at the festival. From the moment he steps on stage he takes the audience on a personal journey of self-improvement; discussing the perils of high school, the joys of travelling abroad, the problems with social media, and his irrational dislike of magicians. There are a few gags in the show that don't quite muster up the laughs they deserve, proving the refined, insightful and downright hilarious jokes are wasted by his inability to read his audience.
