It is always good to see the development of a young comic and the progress made by Carl Hutchinson over the last three Fringes in amazing in my opinion.

In a small aptly entitled Bunker deep in the bowels of The Pleasance Hutchinson hits the stage running and maintains the pace throughout his hour despite of some rather over enthusiastic audience members whom seem to be part of the show.

Previous shows have heard of Carl ‘kicking off’ yet while I am sure there is still potential for him to do so it is much more under control. His well observed and written anecdotal material hits the right note with the audience, there were plenty of laughs to be had from stories such as a Leeds restaurant, football matches with his nephew, beat boxers and perhaps the best story in my opinion the relationship with his George Forman grill while on tour.

To find out more and the ways he has managed to chip his teeth twice this year go and check him out for yourselves and just maybe catch a star in the early stages of his ascendance.
