No, I'm still not a big fan of stand up comedy. But this was more of an event. Phoebe Waller-Bridge has reprised her original Edinburgh Festival act for the very last time. That same act that spawned two great TV series. Yes, these were better than the original.
There were some funny moments mixed with the sadness of a young woman who, it must be said, is on the verge of a breakdown. Wouldn't you be if you were the cause of your best friend's death? There remains much inappropriate behaviour that is told with a grimace, a sneer or a wild eyed grin. It just about works for the 65 minutes. The largest screen in the cinema was packed, and I only saw one woman depart early.
