Brookes delivers one of the coups of this year’s fringe with this deconstruction of a standup set, in which you never know what he’ll do next
Then there’s the material – some of it preprepared and ratcheting up the oddity. He cuts to the big issues and addresses them seemingly without guile. In between, he drops non-sequitur gags which may be a key to something more significant, but he’s not telling. None of this plays by comedy’s usual rules, as Brookes flips the meaningful chat on its head, roleplaying the seduction of his mum, or incarnating the spirit of his own inner child.
