James Dowdeswell

Mediocre material and rather uneasy delivery

You want to like him, you really do. And in another context maybe this gentle show about Dowdeswell’s discovery that his great-grandfather worked with Charlie Chaplin would pass muster. Alas, his mediocre material and rather uneasy delivery are roundly outclassed by even the second tier of Fringe comics. An entertaining Samuel L. Jackson impression aside, pretty underwhelming stuff.

The Stand II, 558 7272, until 29 Aug, 3pm, £7 (£5).
