Adam Vincent’s current show is a late entry in the festival, so it didn’t benefit from all the pre-festival publicity or Easter weekend trade. Importantly it’s not even listed the hard copy of the guide. This is a shame, because it may mean that many people will miss out on this great show simply because they don’t know about it.
In trying to describe Adam I’ve been trying to come up with someone I can compare him to. However, Adam Vincent is like so many people at once and yet distinctly unique.
A practiced impro performer Adam work works well with audience, interacting easily and thinking quickly on his feet. Adam is intelligent without being inaccessible. He works through rapid thought changes that are often bizarre in nature and posited against adjacent ideas that seem to have no relation, but somehow this works. His material often strays into areas that could be considered risqué but he pulls this off by underpinning these ideas with genuine humour. Call backs during the show create links which somehow tie these diverse ideas together.
He touches on topics in this show from terrorism to etch-a-sketch’s and appears to have great fun in doing so. At the moment the resolution to the show falls away a little at the end but I saw this show on only his third night, so it is just a matter of time before this is ironed out.
Adam is funny, surprising, energetic and very engaging and it would be a shame for people to miss out on this unique show just because they don’t know about it.
