Much more like it after the relative disappointment of Hardeep. Brilliant show, very very funny and full of great observational humour (and a smashing wee touching zinger at the end).
Okay, yes, I know some of you are not fans of Wee Ed. But I am. Some genuine belly laughs from your fearless reporter and his companion. Highlights included: still trying to impress young, attractive girls; how this impacted his ability to speak with his doctor about his chronic diarrhoea; the look of horror on other patrons faces when he took his toddlers into Costa Coffee (no idea why that one struck a chord); ostentatious breast-feeding; promiscuity and insane double-standards sexism; buying his son girls' trainers and the reaction in his son's nursery. There was also an excellent audience participation bit about knowing when a date went horribly wrong with the guy behind me who clearly hadn't thought his anecdote through, which Ed graciously accepted and let slide (ummm ...).
Finally I learned there is a children's book called "The Dinosaur That Pooped A Planet" which I MUST READ NOW.
Splendid gig.
