Colin Murphy

Colin Murphy is a true master of his craft and once again we are treated to a master class performance from the genial Irish man.

He does talk to his audience, does not pick on them, just chats as he would with his mates in the pub. He has a fund of funny stories to expound on and entertain his packed audience.

As most comedians on the Fringe this year there is an element of post September 11th especially as the first suspected case of anthrax was in a small hamlet in Ireland.

He devotes a fair proportion of his show in ridiculing team building and personal development skills quoting from a couple of books he had on the subject, and from written audience suggestions, all with his own interpretations.

He is also full of anecdotal comedy drawn from his extensive travels over the last year.

Colin Murphy is such a born entertainer the hour slipped away before I knew it.
