Simon Evans
Off the Kerb Productions
Simon Evans is not maybe the first comedy name I selected to review this year mainly because I had not seen much of him before, but I certainly wasn't disappointed having just witnessed his performance.
The man is genuinely funny and unlike some, does not rely on four letter words to make him amusing. His almost 'plumy' accent is somewhat unusual also, but his material dos not really go down that route.
He is self depreciating of his talent telling his capacity audience that word of mouth obviously isn't working as we are all there!!
He chats well with those who choose to question his statements, but is not nasty , even if some deserve his wrath.
Time will tell as to whether he becomes as big a name as such as that of his stable mate Jo Brand, but I would not be surprised if he didn't.
