A master of stand-up comedy, Adam Hills returns to this year’s Fringe with an unscripted show. The idea behind it, he says, is that people in the audience are actually funnier than anything he could come up with, and as such, he just wants to chat with them, and find the funny side of the everyday man.
Though someone could say that Hills is just going for the easy and lazy solution, not pre-planning his 2010 run, it is actually laudable that he has decided to go without a script. It is solely on his on the spot puns and jokes that this whole hour of comedy relies on, and Hills has to be quick witted and fast-thinking to be able to pull it off. Thankfully, he does this flawlessly, constantly getting the biggest laughs from the audience.
Either when he picks on some Americans for their looks, or an Irish family for their accent, Hills humour is never malicious, nor insulting, and the public responds to that. You are not too worried that Hills decides to bring you to the stage, since he will not embarrass you in front of a massive audience, but he will banter with you, and find jokes where you wouldn’t expect him to.
Hills has brought another fantastic show to the Fringe, and he knows he is onto a winner. Hopefully, next year, he will do something similar.
5/5
