Paul Foot’s Comedy for Connoisseurs - One4Review

The joy of Paul Foot’s comedy is his ability to take the most ordinary of common expressions and run with them, exploring all kinds of humorous possibilities and inconsistencies. Particularly enjoyable is his treatment of moist cakes, the car sign ‘Baby on Board’ and, in the case of the living room, shouldn’t it be called the dying room? Sharing all of these concerns is, as he explains, a warm up for what turns out to be a hilarious mime impression with a spoken commentary. This would appear to be a contradiction but, when it is of a person with many medical ailments attending an Antiques Roadshow valuation with a vase, mime alone could not convey all that is happening. All the audience become involved in the fun assisting with the mime. Paul Foot’s timing is spot on, his material imaginative, and he has the audience with him all the way from start to finish. ****
