Glenn Moore has always been a comic you can rely on since he first graced the Fringe back in 2016 and is always one of the first comedians I set out to see, so it was no real surprise to witness a sell out performance on day 2 and in what was still a preview show, his machine gun delivery, a million jokes, facts, misdirections and call backs were honed to perfection.

There were a few variations to his normal style, his entrance, the occasional foray into his audience added to rather than distracted from the performance, and his likeability seems to have no bounds.

Moore starts as one may expect with reference to the pandemic that has disrupted his and everyone’s life over the last two years, career wise, relationship, living arrangements and of course family disagreements all feature in this hour, with enough material to sustain two hours in other hands. The laughs flew thick and fast, sometimes the next gag landing at the split second the reaction to the previous one finished. Nothing seems to phase the guy, even with tech issues he continued acapella for the last quarter.

Obviously recent TV appearances assist his case but I feel the word of mouth draws even more attention. The guy is surely heading to the very top so don’t be the one to miss out. And to answer the show title? I would say it is a resounding yes!!
