brendan scannell: the abyss

Review by MATT BROOKS

What I liked

Brendan’s writing and delivery move 100 miles per hour. You’ll be belly laughing at the last joke while suddenly stopping in your tracks to listen to him describe an incredibly tender moment from his past. The pacing, acting, writing, and production were 10s across the board.

What I didn't like

My overall impression

Brendan is a sharp and cutting storyteller. He consistently delivers punchy wit while simultaneously describing hyper-real and heartfelt snippets of his life. This was the funniest and most moving show I’ve seen at the Fringe.
