However, while Robot Vs. Art is 15% short of being a spectacular show (to use their jargon) it is definitely a stand out of MICF and well worth checking out.

The show doesn't always flow easily and at times there are gaps between the big laughs but this doesn't affect enjoyment levels as Davis’ flawed-but-personable delivery seems perfect for the room and her audience (something she manages to convey in homemade-chart form).

Percussions that pulsate like a heaving mass on a hot day. Hazy synths linger thick in the air. It's minimal yet evocative. It's classic GOLD PANDA.

Everything is more optimistic, but without the counterbalance for the pop, the band seem in danger of sounding a little too cheesy or naff – an art school tribute to Architecture In Helsinki or the like.

Perhaps this time next year it will be them creating shadows in the tour bus.

It felt like Steele had let the audience into her living room for an intimate show between friends. Great to have you back, Katy.

Finishing their set in ‘70s disco style with The Way It Is, the funk infused pop-rock band left everyone in the crowd a little more upbeat, and unable to wipe the smiles off their faces.

So there’s an understanding of the material there, and there’s a very visible talent, but neither is executed with the confidence – or perhaps experience – that this difficult story requires.

Laurence Anyways is just as much Clément’s character’s story of loss and recovery as it is about Laurence’s transition.
