GSOH - Michael Fabbri

Good Senseof Humour/Otherplace Productions

What comedian Fabbri really needs is more comic fabric to patch up his routine. He has a good laid-back demeanour and is completely comfortable interacting with the audience – which in this case included the gift-horse of a Gary Glitter impersonator. Mainly based around Fabbris childhood experiences, from other families middle class affectations to being a "retard" at school, recounting his adolescent antics came easily to the wide-eyed boyish comic. A sore throat and script still on stage seemed to have afflicted Fabbri (as it did the previous nights stand-up at Three and Ten - perhaps theres something in the beer?), but there were plenty of laughs nevertheless, though Fabbri needs a lot more structure woven into his act and a stronger overall theme.
