Chris Young- Stand up comedy is loading

He made good helicopter noises

What a great gig! Chris did a fantastic job keeping his audience engaged, singlehandedly for an impressive two and a half hours, at Oscars - a lovely small intimate venue on St Leonards seafront. He had a seemingly endless list of material to draw from, and he reads his audience extremely well. Not least because he's a local comedian who was performing largely to his homebase which can be pretty intimidating for fledgling artists of all genres. But I was also impressed by his use of whatever information the audience members he engaged with provided him, by way of extra material to play with. Eg. The GP, the paramedic, and his mate who bought some art during the show! He did some great loops in his storytelling too, such as the Dalmation dog story, marrows, and allotment story. That was very funny! The crimewatch photofit/ID tale was absolutely hilarious - one to save and re-use. Everyone got it! He uses the power of the pause brilliantly, when deciding whether to move on and change direction or to go with the flow. He shows skill at different accents too, which is well worth developing, as are his impressive vocal gymnastics such as the overflying helicopter rumble, which I suspected was a cool diversion for the audience to notice while he moved on to the next topic. Having never heard of Chris before, and being a fussy 'hard act to please' fan of comedy, I firmly believe Chris has longhaul legs for this.. I sincerely hope he keeps running with what he's got , and builds on what will potentially be a hugely successful career worth giving up his (noble) day job for. A great night. Well done!
