Alexander Bennett… I am speechless. Who have I just seen? Surely the next… no, move aside, Matt Berry! A wonderful show, and well deserving of top marks. Alexander is hugely talented with a captivating and engaging stage presence, and the comedy comes thick and fast during this emotional-risk-taking roller coaster. A packed audience were welcomed by the most charming of hosts who asks “do you consider yourself an honest person?”, and we were in the palm of his hand right from the start until the end of the show, when Alexander releases us back into the real world. As requested, I will not give the content of the show away, so instead I’ll exhort you to take a risk on this show, because it’s more than worth it! PS – did I mention the well deserved standing ovations?!

Gilded Balloon Patter House, until 26 Aug.
