Three Weeks
According to Alistair Barrie, you can get the experience of putting on a show at the Fringe simply by "standing in the shower, ripping up tenners". I, for one, was glad that he'd ditched the loofah and made the effort. This is a show that began well and only got better, and funnier, with Barrie's loose framework of 'pillars of obviousness' prompting a wide range of comic observations. It was the more personal jokes that really stood out -I couldn't even begin to describe how hilarious the monologue about his sex life was. Refreshingly, Barrie seemed perfectly at ease with a typical Tuesday-sized crowd - though once last night's audience have told their friends about this show, he'll be just as good in front of a packed house too, I'm sure.
