Show 22: Mat Ewins: Danger Money

After a mildly dud 2019 show, I was keen to see what Ewins would bring for the return of the Fringe Festival. Thankfully he didn't disappoint.

Trying to make a name for himself, he's decided to become a game show host, bringing audience members up to play silly multimedia games (beer pong being particularly memorable) though most of the show is filled with Ewins' characteristic mad video based humour (the videos being projected onto massive cardboard cutout TV frames and projector screens) with moments of sheer ridiculousness (he starts the show with his head in a box with a camera, and a VR headset portion tries to turn the audience naked only for it to backfire on Ewins himself).

Though it doesn't have the cynical moment of poignancy that Adventureman had it's just as fun and it's a return to form for Ewins. I can't wait to see next year's buffet of madness.
