Having recently watched Fantasmas and clocking that Julio Torres’ new special is out soon, it was high time I a) rewatched My Favorite Shapes and b) showed it to Alasdair, and I have never seen anyone so immediately become besotted. This is the kind of stand-up that simultaneously makes me weep with inferiority and kicks my arse back into gear. Such a confident voice in presenting weird ideas in normal ways and normal ideas in weird ways. Nothing feels forced or out of place. I would be intrigued to see what this is like in person without the pre-taped sketches based on a few of the ideas - but then we’d miss out on Ryan Gosling playing “middle penguin”, so swings and roundabouts.
