Mark Allen's Pet Projects  - One4Review

The use of the word ‘pet’ in Mark Allen’s amusing show is highly apt. It is about pets, proper ones like dogs and cats not goldfish or hamsters, and in carrying out his research he became obsessed by his interest in pets and their owners, including himself. His show could be described as a presentation since he uses slides and film footage as illustrations. One of his lines of inquiry led him to discover the Furries, a group of people who like to dress up in animal costumes. They contact each other over the internet and meet up for conventions. Film footage of him dressed up as a dalmation at a convention is hilarious. He has an easy, conversational style with a wry sense of humour. Concentrating on a single topic does appear limiting but he has more than enough good material to sustain the humour for the entire hour. ****
