Again. the Fringe is nothing without the late night madness. This year we’re taking a break from ACMS, and harking back to our old favourite Terrible Wonderful Adaptations, we’ve instead got John-Luke Roberts doing some nonsense. Tonight, it’s Wario Night! Everyone is doing the opposite of their normal schtick. I’m howling from the off, with JLR - inevitably - in full Wario costume and playfully establishing the theme of the night (including a reprise of one of my favourite jokes of his in the form of “Smiths songs, but the opposite”, specifically “Boyfriend, Up And About”). We get Kate Cheka being glad Nigel Farage won in the Clacton by-election and an incredibly horrible joke involving treating pregnancy as being a landlord; Josh Glanc playing up and down his own usual gimmicks in a twisty kind of way; Max Fulham with some very serious ventriloquism indeed; Alice Fraser as Elon Musk’s sister; Andrew Frost trying to figure out the opposite of card magic with a few different options and getting enjoyably frustrated with the whole endeavour; Bec Hill absolutely perfectly inverting her most famous flipchart; Timmy Niblets gamely finding the opposite to a shtick that no one has even seen yet because his show only starts tomorrow; and finally Spencer Jones being not nice in a Paul Smith crowdwork stylee. Oh it’s all so very silly and so 1am and so MB4 and I love it dearly.
