Andrew McClelland’s Mixed Tape

Andrew McClelland is an irresistible and likeable talent. The theme of his show is the art of making the mix tape to send to a loved one which, with the demise of the cassette tape, may become a lost skill. This theme allows him to cast his eye over a huge range of pop music from The Beatles to Radiohead. 

His routine is liberally spread with barbs against silly and shallow lyrics in all kinds of music whether it is soul or metal or hip hop. He also sends up various dance styles. This is no mean feat given the limited space in which he operates and his physical build.

The finale is a sing a long in which the audience fully participate. My overall impression is of his energy and stage presence rather than his material which was stronger in the first half of his set.
