Edinburgh Fringe veteran Andrew Maxwell returned for his 22nd
Edinburgh with another well performed hour. He’s an excellent comedian for
sure, and one is always guaranteed an entertaining hour of comedy ranging from
political swipes, to daft anecdotes to glimpses into his family’s life.
I always forget just how good he is at accents – it’s always
quite jarring hearing his children’s cockney accents against his Irish tones. What’s
more he’s more than clued up about politics and trade. He’s interested, he’s
angry and weak political arguments and he’s keen to make sure we’re not being
led down false avenues.
Andrew Maxwell gives a strong, gimmick-free, comic voice to the
Festival – it’s a refreshing hour amidst the carnage of absurdism, screaming
shame and pretentious artistic endeavours. An honest comedian you can’t go
wrong with.
Score: 7/10
Venue: Assembly George Square Theatre
