Patrick Monahan – The Talkinator 4.5**** - One4Review
one4review | On 16, Aug 2024
In the depths of the Edinburgh’s Cowgate there lurks The Talkinator, AKA genial Teesider Patrick Monahan. He lurks in the upper level of Legends, which is appropriate as Monahan is somewhat of a legend in Fringe terms.
Patrick is a loveable, likeable comic. He loves to chat, he loves to get to know his crowd and he loves to entertain and make his audience laugh. And he always succeeds.
Working with gems he culls from the enthusiastic crowd, he talk about anything, finds the funny on the spot and gets everyone laughing, especially theose he interacts with. Patrick is a lovely guy. He is non-threatening, inclusive performer, with a sunny personality.
One question I often ask myself frequently but have never had the answer to, was, does he actually have a prepared show or does he just go with the flow with great skill and charm?
Well, it appears he actually has, but I don’t think he went with much of it on this night anyway. When his time was done he seemed genuinely seemed disappointed it was over, as we all where.
Go and see him, you are guaranteed to have a great time and cannot fail to be sore with laughing.
