review
September 5, 2008
I’ve been reviewed. What with it being a couple of weeks since the Festival ended I thought I wasn’t going to be. But today the google alert I’ve set up for my own name ( I know) took me to this page on three weeks. Here’s what it says
You can tell the Fringe is drawing to a close, because everyone’s starting to look knackered. So was the case here, in this stand-up show that appeared to have some funny comedians, but who just looked worn out. Kevin Ball, who was giving his last performance of the festival, and Jill Baxter, both from Dundee, had some quality material, but just seemed bored of telling it. The audience wasn’t the most responsive, which can’t have helped, but such is the way with parts of the Free Fringe. David Blair had apparently forgotten he had a show, so the performance was reduced to three acts, but luckily, just as it looked as though all was lost, up popped Andy Learmonth from Aberdeen; charismatic, witty, sharp stand-up – just what was needed.
Wow. As someone wise once said, ‘If you believe the good reviews then you have to believe the bad reviews, so it’s best not to take notice of any of them’. However that is clearly pish because this review says I am sharp, witty and charismatic. I mean it does slag off my colleagues a bit so clearly the reviewer is an idiot there – however he makes amends with that last line.
I am feeling very smug today.
