Comedy Festival 2009 - In Conclusion...
The Festival is over, once again.
It's been a slightly weird festival for me this year. I saw a bunch of shows at the start. Then I lost interest in the middle bit, and had to rouse myself to go and see some more shows before it all finished.
I saw 12 shows this year. All of them were good, but none of them were amazing.
My favourite was Dave Bloustien. He show was solid example of classic stand up - a great story serving as the core, and lots of clever diversions, all delivered by a friendly and likeable comic.
But nothing blew me away this year. Nothing like the first time I saw Daniel Kitson, or Josie Long. Or even Andrew McClelland and his Pirates show. Maybe I saw the wrong shows. maybe it's just been a quiet year.
Or maybe I'm just getting old and grumpy.
