Andrew O’Neill – FuturisticelectodeathNinja9000 - One4Review

An eye catching title but Andrew O’Neill’s brand of comedy was a let down. There was the recurring character, the 5 year old David who was dying from a brain tumour. The audience are asked to view the performance through the child’s view. A bizarre set up and true a personified universe did make an appearance to take the idea forward. However, in between there was some very ordinary material on topics such as the smoking ban, terrorism, vegetarianism and young love. Delivery and timing are essential elements of the comedian’s art. Too often the delivery was laboured and he just didn’t hit the moment. Jokes fell flat particularly in the second half of his routine.  After a bright opening when I felt the audience were with him, their response fell away as the laughter dried up.  **
