All The Fun Of The Unfair (Barry / Quaile / Turpin / PBH’s Free Fringe)
By Marcus Pibworth | Published on Tuesday 23 August 2011
This show should not be missed. Humorous compère Chris Quaile kicks off the evening, introducing three comedians who could well go on to be big stars of the comedy circuit. The instantly likeable Jack Barry delivers a strong set of one-liners, general musings and witty anecdotes. Patrick Turpin’s awkward persona initially creates an uncomfortable sensation in the room before jumping into a routine that is both surreal and hilarious. And then, to top it off, we see Richard Hanrahan changing the English language, delving into the literary world of over-70s erotica and much more. These guys deliver a variety of subversive comedy and guarantee an evening of voracious laughter. Make sure you see it.
Southsider, 6 – 27 Aug (not 8, 15, 22), 9.30pm (10.30pm), free, ffp37.
