An established act well known for surreal sets and well regarded for his skill and satire, I've always been intrigued by Simon Munnery but never given him a go. This year was the year.
Unfortuantely the combination of sleep deprivation and an insanely hot and humid room meant I slightly struggled to keep my mental focus on the show. However, Simon Munnery does open the show with quite an intriguing nihilistic monologue while rotating a metal bird attached to his hat and knocking down some metallic towers with the EU flag and the UK flag. This is followed swiftly by some dressing down of UK politicians, all rather topical post-Brexit.
He then goes on to more tame material about his family and observations on life, which are all rather clever and funny, but couldn't quite keep my attention. Still, he's a veteran comedian and worthwhile watching.
