We have seen Tony before a few times, he is unusual but we love his act. However, it was disappointing that there was no welcome to the audience nor introduction for him at the start, nor a thank you at the end, from a rep of the festival. Unfortunately the show was also impacted for the audience by a couple of junkies who appeared to have wandered in off the street halfway through and were shouting, making stupid remarks, cackling and having a loud conversation at the back, although Tony either didn’t hear them where he was, or professionally ignored them. There was also an odd assortment of seats including some benches - uncomfortable and with no back support. The drinks were cheaper than at The Printworks though, which was a big plus!
