Theatre Reviews

Jon Ben­nett, who is famous for his book and trav­el­ing show Pre­tend­ing Things are a Cock”, is back again at the Fringe with a new sto­ry of love, loss, rela­tion­ships and self-dis­cov­ery. After laugh­ing until I cried the first time I saw him, I have been check­ing out his shows ever since. His last two shows focused on his fam­i­ly, and while fun­ny, they were not any­where near the lev­el of his break­out show. How­ev­er, this year he unfolds a dif­fer­ent sto­ry about com­ing of age, dat­ing, betray­al, main­tain­ing dis­tance and then final­ly grow­ing into his own skin. The sto­ry is real­ly good, refresh­ing and makes some excel­lent points about find­ing self-worth, con­fi­dence and con­nec­tion, all while being absolute­ly hilar­i­ous. Ben­nett is ani­mat­ed, charis­mat­ic and authen­tic. A won­der­ful­ly fun­ny, wit­ty and charm­ing show, this one is def­i­nite­ly worth seeing.
