This is the third year in a row I
have been to see Jason Cook and although Geoff has seen him perform at
the Stand Comedy Club, Jason’s Fringe ticket is mine!
This show is about ‘Fear’ not
just Jason’s fears but the fears and phobias of his whole audience and
the world. Utilising visuals to aid his points he displays some of the
top phobia triggers, spiders, bees and wasps, bats, heights etc and then
goes on to find out those in the audience who share his fears. He also
covers relationships and his greatest fear of all, at the moment, the
birth of his first child. He spends some time asking us, and himself how
he can become a dad, as he has yet to grow up. Jason then shares some
personal family moments and the revelation he could after all be a great
dad.
Having seen Jason’s comedy
mature over the past three years and considering the topics with which
he has poured out his soul to us his audience. I am of no doubt his
fears are unfounded and he will be a great dad. Very unusual and
unconventional, but a great dad.
I love Jason’s stile of comedy
and he always has me laughing from start to finish, his sense of family
values always come over strongly and despite always having audience
interaction it is never threatening or scary. For me his this show was
superb and he will be recommended to anyone who will listen.

Ps Today Thursday 13th August is Jason’s
birthday. Happy Birthday Jason!
