It is possible that I was one of the few people in the room who was not aware of the work of Andy Daly and as such was at somewhat of a disadvantage as to the fare on offer.
Daly is a much respected character comic and improviser from across the pond with a cv that is as long as your arm, and with only a few changers of hat and jacket breathed life into his creations, some of whom were greeted with a cheer before they started
He kicked off with Dalton Wilcox, cowboy and western poet and author, who hates city slickers, is plagued by vampires and goes out to kill mythical creatures. Wilcox does his stuff, there is poetry and Q&A where anything could be asked, his answers as the material garnering laughs along the way.
Quip change and then it was the turn of Don DiMello, a theatrical director of some dubiety, the characterisation and funny material went down well with the packed house, the Q&A as before equally well appreciated.
Finally L Ron Hubbard reappeared be for our eyes as Daly followed the previous successful formula to round of what was an extremely entertaining hour.
If, unlike me, you are aware of him then you better get in fast. This is a short run and I am sure tickets will be hard to get if you leave it too long.
