Exploring his now diagnosed autism and his new relationship there's barely any room for the usual Stuart Laws fibs and chicanery. A consummately funny, highly sophisticated hour from a cult favourite.
Last year Stuart started telling the truth on stage and was diagnosed autistic: he got the best reviews he's ever got and his show was a must-see. He's back baby! And has to lean into it further. It's funny, it's real, it's immaculately structured and it's a chance to see a comedian at the top of his game. As heard on Off Menu and seen on BBC, Prime and 800 Pound Gorilla. **** ½ (Chortle.co.uk). **** (List). 'You'll struggle to find a comedian with a better jokes-per-minute rate' **** (Fest).
