John Scott: Totally Made Up

Winner of last year’s Take the Mic competition, John Scott has his work cut out in this stifling venue. That he manages to get laughs out of our sticky situation is a testament to his immense likeability. There’s some racy stuff, but Scott’s charm takes the sting out of his more barbed jokes. Some of our visiting friends may have some work keeping up with his delivery – and at times it seemed like he was rushing to get us out of the room – but he has some exemplary observational material.

Beehive Inn, 225 7171, until 28 Aug, 5pm, Free.
