Seeing one of our (seemingly ageless) comic legends at work and maintaining his unmatchable form is not a chance to pass up.

Impossible not to laugh at, this bizarre, charisma-driven show is a safe bet for anyone with a funny bone and a memory of Le Snaks.

Despite their rescue by a comically raised eye-brow, visual cue and even a ‘here’s one I prepared earlier’ illustration there are some laughs that are lost.

Finally, and fittingly, it’s free. A subtle and dazzling highlight.

Events like this will always be a little raw and rough around the edges, but it will be rewarding to watch this group test their material over the course of their run – developing what works and discarding what doesn’t.

The story and acting are great enough to hold our attention. The way the script weaves delicately between the three worlds is deft, and there are moments of genuine poignancy. But goddam that squeaky stage.

While the show requires development, their performances remain memorable.

Any show that ends with a man wearing a towel “for all the people who were told they couldn’t do something but then did it anyway and failed and realised they should have listened in the first place” is a man worth listening to.

Will you see a one-man effort of such calibre again? Nevermore quoth the reviewer, nevermore.
