Tuxedo Cat is a favourite venue. Interesting shows in an interesting venue. Our time at MICF was largely spent here, attending some startling and original comedy and shows which take a lot of explaining.
'Safety First' is predicated on the simple notion of a workplace Health and Safety course. Dylan Cole greets members of the audience at the door and hands each a standard safety questionnaire for completion by the audience during the show.
Many of the gags were very funny and the framing device worked well with an unexpected tea-break midway through the performance. Running jokes involving people with the same names as movie stars were peppered throughout, but lost their humour potential rapidly.
I saw this on the first night of performance, so expect that it can only improve as the run continues and those involved learn the rhythms of the humour which occassionaly faltered, but this show was overall a direct hit to the funny bone (they may need to conduct a risk assessment for that).
This was pleasant amiable character comedy performed well and I can certainly recommend it for anyone who has been bored to tears by workplace health and safety presentations.
