Rob Newman: New Theory of Evolution, The Lowry, Salford

Newman's performance is slick and well-rehearsed with little or no deviation from the script which gives this show a more play like feel. The subject matter can at times be a little difficult to keep up with but the passion that it is delivered with cannot be questioned.
