Review : Life After Divorce: The Truth

Life After Divorce: The Truth
Kevin McCarron/Laughing Horse Free Festival
The title of 'Life After Divorce: The Truth', gave me cause to feel apprehensive as I entered the Laughing Horse @ Espionage; I imagined a clichéd ridden set moaning about marriage and probably menstruation. I was pleasantly surprised then, when I was presented with an anecdotal set complemented by a number of inverted witticisms for good measure. As he focuses on the life he is able to live now he is free from the constraints of marriage, Kevin McCarron reveals himself to be a genuine, thorough and amusingly clever comic who gently coaxes the laughter out of the audience. He doesn't induce fits of uncontrollable laughter, but one is feel tickled and entertained, as McCarron exudes his natural, comforting charisma, putting you at ease with his far from bitter humour.
Laughing Horse @ Espionage, 6 - 30 Aug (not Mondays), 7.25pm (8.25pm), free, fpp72.
