Andy Daly is best known from the Comedy Central series ‘Review’ and the ‘Comedy Bang! Bang!’ podcast. For his Fringe debut he performs three of his most monstrous characters: cowboy poet Dalton Wilcox; theatre director Don DiMello and founder of Scientology, L. Ron Hubbard. Each gives a short monologue before the audience is invited to ask the character questions, giving Daly the chance to show off his renowned improv skills. The performances are strong and, if you’re already a fan, you’ll love seeing Daly perform known characters live in an interactive show. But if, like me, this is your first experience of the American and you don’t warm to the characters, you may leave feeling a little underwhelmed.
