Jeeves & Wooster: Perfect Nonsense review

A lifelong fan of the works of P. G. Wodehouse, I was very much looking forward to tonight's performance of Jeeves And Wooster: Perfect Nonsense at the Kings Theatre, Edinburgh. Yes, I was dubious as to whether it would stand up to the classic 90's television adaptions, famously portrayed by Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, but when it comes to Wodehouse how can you possibly go wrong?

Radio Times review

If you like Russell Howard but are a little tired of his Good News shtick then it's good news (if you'll excuse the repetition) for you, as this new series sees him return to more traditional stand-up which is where he really shines. Highlights from his set include an unexpected greeting from an old lady and an oddly intense masseuse - not to mention pointing out the fundamental lack of logic in being a racist football supporter.

There are a couple of tweaks to the stand-up format, though, which include Howard answering questions from the audience that range from tame to extremely odd and ultimately result in one toe-curlingly funny moment when the Bristolian comedian inadvertently insults an audience member to almost instant regret.

Here he's joined by Nish Kumar and Sara Pascoe - the latter of whom gets great comedic mileage out of a recent appearance on QI. We'll never look at Stephen Fry's face in quite the same way again...
