I first saw Hari Sriskantha at the Edinburgh University student comedy festival in 2013 where he headlined the stand-up night, and he ended brilliantly. I was interested to see where he had got to two years later.
He has a very tightly written, packed 40 minute show on the subject of immortality making effective and efficient use of his time. It's a cleverly written, well performed show with plenty of material on ethnicity, mortality and making a name for oneself.
He has a nice mix of wordplay, misdirection and anecdotes which together do well to keep his audience engaged in an unbelievably hot and tiny room (performing in true Edinburgh style).
Although very funny, there's no boundary pushing or belly-aching sets, but it's a very assured, confident and well honed 40 minutes. Give him a couple of quid, at least, at the end.
