Nick Cody : Come Get Some!, Assembly George Square, Edinburgh Fringe

A beautifully crafted set from the confident, beardy Australian.  There's nothing innovative or adventurous about Cody's routine, just a man doing 'proper' stand up observational comedy.  And, done well, that's still one of the most satisfying art forms to see live.

Learn about his fiance's incredible ability to tell what he's going to say three sentences before he does; his gangsta nan who died age 102; and what it feels like to be 29 and not have a driving licence.  There are smart callbacks that ensure the hour has a coherent feel to it, and he's happy to indulge in a bit of audience interaction, improvising laughs from very little.

Cody is a class act.  Recommended.

Nick Cody : Come Get Some! is in Assembly George Square until 28 August.
