Anyone who enjoys the madcap stand-up routines of Greg Davies will love his new sitcom…it is very funny.” Although the supporting act was good, I felt, we as an audience were left waiting a long time for the show to start. I went with three others and we had decided to go for a drink and meal before the show, which made us late for the doors opening at 7, but we knew the doors to the actual auditorium would not open till about half past. However even with our being late we sat for around half an hour before the supporting act was introduced and then again sat waiting for another half an hour till 9 for Greg himself to come on. We felt a little short changed when we were waiting but as soon as the show started we shook off the slight disappointment. Experience the critically acclaimed comedian at his best, live on stage. Stung by his mother’s suggestion that he is “not normal” GREG puts everyone under the microscope in a petty quest to discover if anyone actually is. The analysis is far from scientific and the conclusions, at best, spurious. To be clear, as an educational tool this show is worthless. It is funny though.

The supporting act, was a young man probably around my age (21) he was pretty good for a supporting act, as Greg promised the audience thought voice over. But perhaps as would be expected for a young up and coming comedian, lots of his jokes were penis and sex related, he also made a few fat jokes but justified doing so by saying he used to be fat. Davies is noted for his height, standing 6ft 8in (2.03m) tall. [28] [29] He lives in the Kennington area of London. [30] He was in a relationship with Labour Party politician Liz Kendall from 2007 to 2015. [5] [31] Comedy specials [ edit ] Year Also as good as the show was I felt like it wasn’t quite long or developed enough, I think the show could have been improved with a little more audience participation (not just the same 3 people in the front row… by the mic…). From 2008 Davies played the head of Sixth Form Mr Gilbert in the E4 comedy The Inbetweeners, and in the two follow-up films The Inbetweeners Movie (2011) and The Inbetweeners 2 (2014). For the end of the show the objectives promised us a heart warming song and a better world, this was indeed delivered. The Bonsai song as I’m sure it will become known, bought the show together, it starts on a negative foot making us sing ‘I wish I was a Bonsai Tree’ to enforce the message of the show; how sad it is that in adulthood, most of the time we don’t say what is in our mind and the world becomes quite dull and boring without young people. However instead of being depressing the song turns around and then looks at the negatives of being a Bonsai tree, Greg them makes us sing the ‘I’m glad I’m not a Bonsai tree’ .Thankfully, though, those 44 years of not being normal – he’s not entirely changed his behaviour as he’s become what could laughably be called an adult – has given him a hugely fertile seam of stupid anecdotes, which he exploits to magnificent effect. Davies is an outstanding storyteller, and while the writing is tight, his delivery has a loose confessional air. He seems genuinely excited to be brining the audience into his confidence, like close mates, even starting off by confessing to problems with his undergarments this evening. The cynic might wonder if he says this every night, but it certainly doesn’t feel like it. Nicholson, Rebecca (10 September 2021). "The Cleaner review – Greg Davies leads a dark and curious comedy".
