You'll never get a straight stand-up show from Tony Law. A man of chaos and non-sequiturs, his shows have the potential to be brilliant. Starting off with getting his 13-year-old son to introduce him, we have an hour of amusing ideas and wonderings with some quite cute insights into the family life he has rounded off with a horse race involving multiple audience members. The skill in keeping our attention and threading everything together is what draws us in, underneath the tangents there's a semblance of control, that tightrope walking is ever intriguing. Even if it doesn't give you a belly laugh, you've got to admire the man's skill.
