Corey Spence  Gabby Anderson and Lesa Macleod-Whiting, comics you might recognise from the improv comedy troupe Tiny Dog, are throwing their hands into stand-up for Flow State. Opening with a pre-show blurb, they ask us to come on a new journey with them as they share the stage individually for two sets each. A ‘gentle’ joke about their show slot (9:00pm) is all the pair need to get their audience laughing and in the right state for their flow.
Jack McGee This Glass House Makes It Easy To See All The Cowards I’m Throwing Stones At, while a mouthful, is an apt title for Guy Williams bizarre and dissonant stand up special. Williams spends the hour putting himself and the world on blast in seemingly equal measure, positioning himself with an odd blend of hubris and vulnerability. Self deprecating comedy is nothing new, nor is socially conscious humour, but the way Williams wades straight into the deep end, openly admitting that he won’t be making it out unscathed is a sight to behold.
