Joel Dommett

Joel Dommett returns to Edinburgh with an outstanding new show in which he discusses in fine detail his trials and tribulations of trying to get even with a high school bully after the perpetrator contacts him via Twitter.

As the victim of bullying in his youth Dommett portrays himself as a coward who still fails to stand up for himself today. Citing muggings and lost love in his formative years as evidence of his cowardice, Dommet showcases a deeply charismatic onstage persona contradicting his claims that he is a shy and sheepish individual.

Throughout the performance Dommett proves that he is capable of reducing his audience to a slavering mess, often as a result of his wicked delivery. It is not just the face of his comedy that makes the show such a success either: his performance harbours a dark and thought provoking edge deeply rooted within his routine. The intelligence of the performance and the versatility Dommett displays makes his latest offering an enthralling, laugh a minute stand up comedy performance.

Pleasance Courtyard, 556 6550, Until 26th August, 6pm, £8.50-£10.
