A frenetic mix of disassociated
outbursts, non-stop one-liners and surreal visual gags makes Steve Best a tricky
act to quantify. Not consistently laugh-out-loud but certainly my cheeks ached
from grinning for the duration of his bizarre set. Laughing at him or with him?
A bit of both because at times it is sheer foolishness that he’s selling. His
jokes and observations come out so fast that you don’t always have time to react
to the material; this of course works for the bad jokes as well as the good
ones.
The occasional swear word and
lewd gesture emerges for shock purposes only and he is the first to admit that
his pieces of ‘theatre’ are not much more than immature acts.
WARNING: When watching this
comedian DO NOT sit to the side of the stage as the success of most of his
visual gags depend upon a forward facing point of view so you don’t see ‘behind
the scenes’.
