The Hermitude of Angus, Ecstatic

Absurdist comedy that starts well but quickly deteriorates

Shambling onstage like a demented Where’s Wally?, early signs seem promising for this rubbery performer. An absurdist narrated life story plods from one chapter to the next (in no particular order), carrying Angus’ near-wordless adventures. But, like a charmless Mr Bean, this is an intensely irritating character, prone to screeching and humping chocolate cake.

Underbelly, 0844 545 8252, until 28 Aug, 10.45pm, £9–£10.50 (£8–£9.50).
