Review : John Gordillo: F**konomics

John Gordillo: F**konomics
Off The Kerb Productions
When watching comedy, a lecture on economics might not strike you as being humorous, and a man talking about sex for an hour may sound clichd, but John Gordillo manages to seamlessly blend the two, relating them in such a way that you will leave the auditorium wondering why you haven't previously realised that sex and relationships follow the same natural laws of the free market. Rather than parade around his comedy in a brash masochist manner, Gordillo comes across as a touching individual who empathises with women, because in his words "they walk around with cocks in them". With hindsight, I'm not sure that quote does justice to his show, which is as funny as an economic lecture could be.
Pleasance Dome, 5 - 31 Aug, 8.10pm (9.10pm), prices vary, fpp65.
