Patrick Turpin: Itty Bitty Little Titty Piece (Live Nation in association with Hannah Layton Management)
By Stephanie Stapleton | Published on Monday 7 August 2017
Turpy, as his “guilty straight white male” mates refer to him, brings us a fusion of Lad Bible, Grayson Perry and The White Company. Posing as the “typical metro millennial”, clad in a boardroom suit with frilly socks and stage heels, he delivers a glittery and entertaining set filled with catchy tracks, tacky hen-do props, and the ridiculous. While the show is fun, and offers some promising moments, there are a lot of cheap gags (and dildos) flopping about. So if you didn’t find doodled dicks on the back of toilet cubicle doors funny at school, and the thought of even more willies bouncing around on a comedy stage doesn’t impress you, then this one isn’t for you.
Underbelly Cowgate, until 27 Aug.
