Gordon Southern is a honest hard working comedian and he had to draw on all of his experience tonight to a disappointingly small crowd in an embarrassingly small and awkward room. The room is not really a room at all – it is really the space between rooms. He extracts every available laugh as is evident by his liquid laugh-barometer (I won’t explain this now – go to the show and see what I mean for yourself)
He deserves more (room and audience).
He encourages the audience to join him on this comedic journey and they willingly oblige. He generates man jokes about the “unique” characteristics of the venue.
His prepared material is strong including clever word play and the occasional pun, all of which is punctuated by pre-recorded musical stings. His best material is when eh ventures off script to just talk with the intimate gathering seated before him.
Audiences will not be disappointed with the performance. In a small gathering the audience have to give a little to the performer to help generate some atmosphere. It is only fair because Gordon is giving his all. http://www.comedyfestival.com.au/2011/season/shows/gordon-southern-free-range
