Electric Mouse Comedy Showcase

Electric Mouse

Tonight's host makes quite a song and dance about the free comedy at Heist. Five comedians! A host! Free? Yes! Free! What a shame then, this particular evening, that no one gets their money's worth. Richard King's warm-up does no favours for opener Lou Sanders, who can't read the notes on her hand well enough to string her material together. It picks up a little when she is relieved by Robert White, who quite literally makes a song and dance of his frantic set and just about justifies his extra five minutes. Chris Brazier's set, mercifully, is five minutes in total. When I add up all the minutes I've given, it feels like an expensive evening. There are different acts every night though folks, so roll up...

Heist, 3 - 26 May, 9:15pm (10:30pm), free, fpp 16
