Chris Addison laughs at you, laughs at himself and goes from naught to 60 in 0.0032 seconds without slipping up once. Well, he did slip up once, hence the crutches, but fear not: he delivers with childish energy and acerbic wit. This show is irritatingly intelligent but you know he’s right about many things. He is in-tune with human nature and culture, and has some cutting things to say about the general Ugg-wearing, sickeningly privileged populace, yet somehow manages to make his middle-class superiority work for rather than against him. His material ranges from chuckle-worthy to wipe-away-tears hysterical, displaying a talent for switching between venomous sarcasm and chicken impressions with seamless and relentless force. Killer wit, killer sarcasm, killer show.
