Quite possibly the most bizzarre stand up comedy set I've ever seen, featuring an almost-poetry-rap-battle, a sudden downpour, and most helpfully, a large quantity of very good quality jokes.

Adrian Poynton has one of those tall, thin kind of bodies, that you just instinctively know hides a keen brain. He began his set in the usual fashion, telling tales of an AA Repair Man whose truck broke down, who then called the RAC out to help, when the first strange event arrived.

A young woman in the audience said she wanted to do her poem about beer, in front of an audience. Feeling that his set wasn't going down to well (more to do with the open air space and surrounding noise than the quality of his humour) he agreed, whereupon she embarked on a somewhat hate filled tale of stolen beer, all directed at her boyfriend, who was clearly the culprit. This done, she returned to her seat, leaving him slightly bemused.

Still, he rallied and continued his own material, going back into the crowd, pulling names and facts out of them and using it to construct more surreal extensions of ordinary lives. However, strange events come in threes, and the second was an unexpected downpour that brought at least fifty new people into the Cosmic Comedy Tent, prompting more comments, more humour and more fun. To his credit, he ran with everything that happened instead of against it, and even the discovery of what was quite possibly the Scariest Child In The World...Ever! (wearing a shirt that quite honestly appeared to spattered with blood) didn't faze him.

His quick wit and sharp brain meant his set, whilst clearly improvised, was excellent. The additional crowd members enthusiastically applauded him off the stage after an excellent finale, and the scary child and the poem woman seemed happy with their lot. A very strange gig, but it was funny, and that's all that matters.
