Self described as an absurdist comedian, Oliver Coleman caught my eye in the programme so I thought I'd give him a go.
An eclectic hour of part absurdism, part straight up observational humour, at times it feels like Coleman's playing with the form and being a comedian's comedian. There was something exhilarating with trying to see what exactly was going on. A threatening 'shark' moves through the audience edging closer and closer to the stage throughout the show too. The hour seems incoherent but feels as if there is genius lurking beneath the shambles. An intriguing hour, tempting me to see what he comes up with next year.
