60 minutesJust the Fancy Room
The triumphant return of the show that took its first, adorably wobbly steps in Edinburgh 2023. And yet, like the ship of Theseus, or Trigger's broom, according to your level of education, all new! Two years of touring have seen this show continually growing and interweaving new strands of thought and comic invention. Memory, time, grief and scissors – all combine to deliver perhaps Evans' most satisfying show yet, for its final victory lap and curtain call. 'A masterclass' ***** (Scotsman). 'Outstanding' ****½ (Chortle.co.uk). 'Dynamite' **** (Times).
