This 24-year-old Etonian is frightfully aware of his privilege and poshness, but he's got enough self-deprecation and good humour to make a tremendously charming and engaging comedian. This is someone who you feel has really found their 'voice', and what a delightfully funny, honest and charming one it is.
There's nothing ground-breaking or off-the-wall with Graham's show, but it's a very confident, carefully written, well delivered set.
He touches on his 14-month long relationship (if only for artistic purposes they'd split up, but no, he's just too good a boyfriend [his words, not mine]), growing up in boarding school and the state of modern society and it's relationship with technology. Along the way he even has some very funny riffs with the audience, and he handles 4 front-row audience members leaving half way through very well.
This is a natural comic who really reverberates with the middle-class-yet-not-a-stuck-up-arse demographic (I like to think I half fit that) and is a great talent. A very enjoyable and worthwhile show.
