I first came across Nick Helm after he was nominated for the
Edinburgh Comedy Award in 2013 (his 2nd nomination). Subsequently he’s
appeared on 8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown and I’ve watched him once before
this show at the popular and excellent comedy venue The Union Chapel in London.
This was a work-in-progress show trialling material for
future works, as such it didn’t have the strongest narrative thread through it,
but was multiple rock-style songs, dark poems and witty asides that Helm’s well
known for. He’s a mix of loud, bitterness against jilted love and a helpless
romantic – it certainly makes for an interesting vibe. Also featured a guest appearance
on guitar by David Trent.
Venue: Pleasance Courtyard
Score: No score for work in progress
