Fried Eggs Don't Talk Back

Graham Foster/Gareth Morinan/PBH's Free Fringe

This is a pretty average stand-up show featuring three different comedians each doing ten minute sets. The usually quite humorous Simon Lilley was first up, but failed to impress on this occasion, raising little more than a few chuckles, though he did engage the audience in some decent banter. Next on stage was Gareth Morinan who was my favourite of the line-up by far. He did some self-deprecating material but raised the tone with his wonderful artwork including such gems as 'Cat on Moon' and 'Cat on Acid'. Lastly came Gareth Foster, who was suffering from the self-inflicted sickness of the night owls, eerily common amongst Fringe performers.
