Review: Musical Comedy Awards Final

David Elms had such an intimate low-key style it looked as if he was about to suck the energy out of the room as he shuffled on with his guitar. But Elms is a confident, assured performer with a nicely twisted, unpredictable sense of humour and he handled the cool welcome brilliantly, soon getting everyone onside.
