Fringe  Comedy 2002   Back

Danny Bhoy

Fringe Programme page 18
Danny is fairly unusual in being a born Scot Stand-up comedian who is playing a major venue at a peak time. Such is his appeal; he was one of the comedians who graced the Pleasance sold out board virtually every day of the Fringe.
It was therefore his final show that I managed to get to see, so I cannot be too sure that the set we got was his normal one, he was so laid back, quite happy to chat with his audience and giving anecdotal examples of various towns, cities and countries that he had visited in his many tours prior to his sojourn at the Fringe.
His packed out audience laughed at him, but mostly with him so much that he overran by fully ten minutes, but it wasn’t enough for his audience, they were still wanting more. His closing quip was to the effect that he had to vacate to allow a Perrier nominated comedian to use the venue, not that he was bitter, as he claimed to prefer Highland Spring. In fact he had been swigging from a bottle of this the entire show.
Not to his taste maybe, but surely it can’t be too long before that water companies judges consider Danny is the Bhoy for them.
