Michael Che:- Six Stars 4**** - One4Review

Michael Che:- Six Stars 4****

| On 16, Aug 2015

 

There can be little doubt the new York City comedian Michael Che is a talented performer and writer so I was looking forward to seeing this year’s offering having seen him on his last visit.

His set is oh so loose, his laid back demeanour and ‘cool’ dress sense somewhat disguise the biting wit, albeit probably more suited to an American audience, yet the freedom of using words in the UK that are not acceptable in his country are right up his street.

Che does a lot of crowd work, not always the easiest thing to do, but generally gets away with it, maybe for those he selects it could be a little intense on occasions.

I am wondering if some of his material is there for shock value. His endorsement of Trump, uses of ‘N’ word, ‘C’ bomb, talking about cat-calling and dick-pics certainly don’t sit well with a sizable chunk of the audience.

It was a good performance and I feel there was much more in his comedy locker but time got in the way. I also feel it would be a different show on a different night.
