Patrick Lappin’s work in progress show is an hilarious insight into his
depressing life. Okay, that doesn’t sound like the kind of thing you go
to a comedy show to laugh at, but Patrick executes it in a way that
brings out the funnier side to life events such as a harsh breakup, the
loss of a relative, being an Aston Villa fan and running away from a
wedding crying whilst shouting about women staying at home to wash their
tits. The bits that he warns us aren’t supposed to be funny genuinely
aren’t, but a couple of great callbacks, musical interludes from artists
that killed themselves, the greatest/worst hype-man in the world and
some relatively heavy drinking put the smiles back on everybody’s faces.
Pretty rough in parts, much like Aston Villa’s season, but definitely a
show to keep an eye out for if you’re heading to the Edinburgh Fringe
this summer. (CB)
