I got the impression that Chris Addison could have have gone on for two or three times as long as he did and still been hilarious. He hardly paused for breath. He leaps around from topic to topic giving the impression that he has hours of material in reserve. At the end he glanced at his watch and abruptly finished. Was it really an hour?
The first few minutes were certainly off the top of his head. Recounting his morning ankle injury and subsequent trip to A&E. No wonder he has so much material because he can effortlessly weave a comic tale out of any anecdote or story without apparent preparation. Addison has an infectious enthusiasm drawn from his adrenaline which was also clearly masking the pain in his ankle as the hour progressed.
A thoroughly enjoyable show leaving me pondering whether I should return for another frenetic hour just to see if there is any repetition.
