Steel Icarus
we move
Went to see him last night; he was funny as fuck. Matt Rudge, a really young-looking guy I'd never heard of, supported, and he was great, with some wonderfully tasteless stuff but mostly just funny observational stuff.
I had my reservations about Stewart Francis - could he pull off an 80 minute show where each one-liner takes at most 20 seconds? How much of the material had I heard before?
To be fair, about half the one-liners were familiar - but somehow it didn't stop them being funny. Greeted them like old friends. It helped that large sections of the audience hadn't seen him before, so roared at stuff I chuckled at.
The pace was a bit weird, by nature of the thing - a bit up and down, but you didn't have to wait very long for another zinger.
I would recommend, if you get the chance.
