The
Pleasance Cellar is not the biggest space on the Fringe, but when
full, and it was, has loads of atmosphere and the feel of a comedy
club, so could be seen as an ideal venue for three up and coming
comedians to play their first Edinburgh.
The
compere for the night was Sally Ann Hayward, who did a good job of
warming up the audience, chatting with them and setting the scene
for her colleagues Sally had some funny material, generally from a
somewhat from a female perspective.
 South
African Martin Evans strenuously denied he looked like Jack
Osbourne, although he certainly does. I really enjoyed his set he
had some good ideas and he worked the room well.
Pete
Cain was the final act and he sold himself well. His material was
a lot darker than the other two, with one or two radical ideas
about the population explosion and how to cope with it, and like
Sally and Martin previously I'd like to see a longer set.
Three
immerging talented comedians, who deserve more recognition, and
hopefully this won't be too long in coming.
