David Stanier's Silly Party ★★★★
Edinburgh Just the Tonic at The
Mash House (Venue 288)
Until
Sunday 28th August 2016
The
Snifter Room is a living room sized venue that features many different
lampshades on the ceiling. The eclectic
mixture of decorations and the many balloons that David had put out pretty much
sums up the feeling of the show. David
invites you to his house party. He is keen to get to know you and he has a
number of ice breaking moments such as getting the audience to ask each other
questions taken from a hat.
Yes, the show features a lot of audience participation but it isn’t an intimidating show and “silly” is the theme. Fortunately tonight most people in the room were up for it and that helped the atmosphere somewhat.
The
tone of the show is a cross between a crazy European tv quiz shows and 80s mad
house Saturday evening tv. Think Reeves and Mortimer in their prime and you’re
along the right lines. Complete with
jokes from crackers, school yard humour and party games – David is a likeable
chap who works hard to keep the party going. He has support from 2 friends
coming on as special guests. At times events can get very surreal and at other
points it is very funny. He had most of the crowd on board from the off as he filled
the room with laughter.
This
is a promising start for David in his first Ed Fringe show. It’s a bubbly fun
show.
