Gordon Southern  –  The Solutions
I must admit to not have heard of Gordon Southern before this years Fringe, and initially he wasn’t originally on my list, but having seen him on Lunch Box Live and the BBC Stand Up Show Live where he really impressed me I decided to check out his full show entitled The Solutions. One of the props he uses is a large crossword puzzle where various words that crop up in his show are filled in on this grid, one meaning of solution and via Dubai, Australia, Falkland Islands and his native London, Gordon offers some possible solutions to some world problems, through the medium of comedy. Southern is an engaging, comedian with a good line in material. His audience interaction is funny and non-threatening, an inspite of the ‘sauna’ that is masquerading as this venue, it is certainly an hour well spent. ****
