memoirs of a festival floozy : #7 adam buxton

Better known as half of TV comedy duo Adam and Joe, Adam braves the Fringe solo, as his wonderfully-created woeful character Pavel. Looking like a cross between a tramp and a terrorist (it was a good idea to get out of London) with his big bushy beard, he performs a play-type comedy – a sort of long, hilarious soliloquy, punctuated by cleverly manipulated video clips (I never realised Star Trek could be so funny), and just a smidgeon of audience participation. I must just have one of those faces I guess.

This was clever, well-prepared and a joy to watch. 4 stars. Excellent.
