Groan Up is Bennett explaining what has happened to him when he's tried to live life like a proper adult. And not always succeeding. The stories are funny, the delivery fast and friendly. Steve isn't one to badger his public, but he gets them involved. If there were a couple of minor stumbles in the continuity he always recovered swiftly and I could see those bugs will have gone in a a couple of days once he's fully into the swing of it.
There are songs too, accompanied, rather well, on the (usually) dreaded ukelele. It included the best, and shortest, song on religious disbelief I've heard, and plenty of chances for the audience to join in the choruses. There's something strangely liberating about being part of a crowd loudly singing out that we're all going to die.
A good fun way to fill a midday hour and worth fitting into your plans if you get the chance.
Groan Up is on in the back room of Finegan's Wake at 12.00 until the 29th. Bennett also has another show in the Free Sisters at 19.00, which I hope to review at a later date.
