Comedian overcomes awkward moments

YOU couldn’t help but feel sorry for Andrew Lawrence, when he found himself faced with one of the least funny audiences possible.

With a front row consisting of several disabled people, a domestic abuse police officer, a jobseeker and a HR consultant, there was not a lot of comedic opportunity, but he handled the situation as well as he could have.

Overall the show was terrific, with the fast talking, angry little man’s rants delivered with great aplomb, and there was a certain finesse in his command of the language.

It’s not hard to see why he has picked up several comedy awards and is highly regarded on the circuit - he brings something different and refreshing, and is definitely one to look out for.

Verdict: Very funny
