Show 14: Eleanor Morton Has Peaked

Having vaguely heard of Eleanor Morton from I don't know where (turns out she became a viral hit with her internet videos over lockdowns) I thought I'd check her act out.

A seasoned professional at the game (some 13 years in comedy) her experience shows with confident energy that captivates her audience. She's got some strong material and quite the incredible family background (who'd thought that as a stand up comedian she's the most successful of her siblings, with one being an artist and another doing a a PhD on Jack the Ripper). A really strong hour of story telling and observations peppered with light whimsy (she's really good at telling you the average size of any bird species!), this was a very pleasant surprise, a shame I hadn't discovered her before. I'll be sure to check her shows again in future.

Score: 8/10
Venue: Monkey Barrel Comedy at Carnivore
Dates: 24th - 28th August (not 11th or 16th)
Time: 12:40
