Ian D Montfort

This promising new character from Tom Binns (creator of hospital DJ Ivan Brackenbury) is a Sunderland ‘actual psychic’ who can talk to dead celebrities as well as deceased aunties. Some great shambolics and ad-libbing are let down a bit by occasionally bland material and a questionable Mackem accent. Still, it’s worth a spin.

Pleasance Courtyard, 556 6550, until 30 Aug, 2.15pm, £9–£10 (£7.50–£9).
