Well the title of his show is rather self-explanatory, “Autistic Musical Comedian Paul Dennis”, part of the large Welsh contingent at this year’s Fringe, and it’s a lovely mix of jokes and silly songs. He’s a talented guitar player and the songs he’s created are pretty good, catchy and funny.

It gets quite personal at times and we see a glimpse of his childhood, growing up in Wales in a very Christian household. Now he’s more of a metal-head and there are more than a few references to his music of choice throughout his set.

His delivery a lot of the time is quite dead-pan, but it’s very entertaining and you literally have no idea where the next gag or song will take you to. It may not be the most polished of shows and it may be a little rough around the edges, but he’s a talented comedian and songwriter and the audience really enjoyed his show.

Paul comes across as a very amiable chap, you’d have beer with him, he would share a few stories and he’d pull out the guitar and keep everyone in the room laughing.
