Briony had booked this for us a few weeks before. Amos is a great UK comic who always treks to Adelaide for the Fringe. He has some great jokes about Haighs and knows the city quite intimately. Amos is great at observation so laughs come easily from that, then adds twists to make you laugh at the absurdity of some things. He was clearly still working out what works and what doesn't work in his show (Still seeing previews before the festival actually starts, the toss up of seeing a cheaper show is not seeing it quite as polished). Was slightly disturbed at how much he sweats on stage - these venues are like saunas most of the time, so standing in front of a heap of glaring lights wouldn't help. At the end of the performance he gave free tickets away to his other show 'Weekend talk show' but Noni wanted to go to bed, Piker. We slink home while the rest of Edinburgh gears up for a big Friday night.
