Jordan Brookes returns to Monkey Barrel for his latest hour. He's seemingly doing better than previous years, it's a less angsty, less tense hour, though there are still threats of self-implosion that keep us on our toes.
Brookes tells us he's not bothered about being called a 'slimeball', though he returns to this throughout, considering how others see him and how his behaviours impact on others. Minor distraction with an audience member taking photos of him and another being distracted by his sweatiness makes for fun asides.
At the end, we realise that all may not be what it seems when we find out just who called Brookes a slimeball (a twist almost reminiscent of Kitson's 'After The Beginning, Before The End' show). It doesn't quite match to previous offerings but his skill in pulling us into his slightly twisted thoughts makes for an overall intriguing hour from this former Best Show winner.
