Liverpool Comedy Festival 2008: Robin Ince

SOMETHING akin to what might have transpired if Woody Allen was raised by a family of British vicars (and the latter is actually true in this case), Robin Ince’s downbeat, machine gun fire delivery compacts literally life, the universe and everything into just over an hour. It is very hard to get him off stage once he’s started, as he’s desperate to cram so much in.

ORMSKIRK-born, Crosby-raised and now Leeds-based comic Silky has most recently been seen in the city compering at the sadly missed, but hopefully soon to be reborn Capital of Comedy nights at the Slaughterhouse, so the chance to see what he’d do in an hour long show was promising.

COMPLETE and Utter Conti, the comedienne's first full length show at the Royal Court, flew the flag for female comics and ventriloquists everywhere. Well, not just flew the flag, but set the standard. If that’s not over-egging any existing enthusiasm for ventriloquism in the first place, that is.

Culture Company boss Phil Redmond always likes to compare the machinations of 2008 to a “Scouse wedding�. And if it were, last night the entertainment had arrived.
