Armed with his trusty Fender guitar, baby-faced Rob Deering makeshis way to the The Comedy Box at Southville's Hen & Chicken pub thisSaturday.
With his easy charm, cheesy singing voice, razor-sharp wit andclownish physicality, his audience rapport is in the Eric Morecambeleague, with a natural, non-threatening geniality that only thehardest of hearts wouldn't warm to.
Playing James Bond theme-tunes and playfully winking at theaudience, it's hard to deny that Deering's act doesn't have its moregimmicky elements - but he's forgiven because he makes the sometimesslight material so fabulously entertaining. And, when you're leastexpecting it, he slips in something with a sharper edge almostunnoticed.
This is fun, inspired comedy from a man clearly destined forfuture success.
Natalie Hale Rob Deering performs at The Comedy Box this Saturday(October 2) at 8.30pm. For bookings call 0117 922 3683. For moreinformation visit www.thecomedybox.com Change Of Plan Noel Britten isheadlining The Comedy Box in the All New Stand Up Show tonight -replacing the advertised Christian Reilly.
But this shouldn't cause too much of a problem for comedy-lovingaudiences, as Noel Britten is an absolute comedic delight.
A purveyor of traditional-style gags, killer lines and sarcasticput-downs, he probably has the highest "laugh quotient" in thebusiness. Britten keeps the one-liners coming thick and fast, and theaudience love it.
