Dave Bailey And Friends Comedy Hour (Dave Bailey)
By Robert Stuart | Published on Friday 30 August 2013
All in all, this was a somewhat unremarkable set, but it was still enjoyable in parts. Dave Bailey, with shorter appearances from Martin Bearne and Stu Richards, gave a fairly pedestrian stand up set, but laced with some refreshing levels of self-deprecation, it was still fairly engaging. Bearne was able to deliver some decent gags, and Richards also delivered several pithy one-liners, but their standard, orthodox material was hardly pushing any boundaries in the comedy domain. It’s a shame to see comedians with clear talent stick to such conventional subjects, but their professionalism did shine through, and overall, this was a reasonably good show.
Paradise in the Vault, until 26 Aug, 10.15pm.
