Paul Currie has a mission - to stop adults taking themselves seriously. Making silliness the dominant force in this show. If you've ever wondered if Where's Wally? would make a good spectator sport, or wanted to sing in cat, or always hungered to dance like Black Beauty, or thought it would be good to see music played on a pot plant, then this is the show for you. It's also a show where you are going to join in or Mr Currie will be round to see you.
Currie's surreal imagination and energy make for an unpredictable hour, with few jokes and lot of visual and interactive humour. It's fast, very funny, and slightly scary at times. Audience members selected to take the stage with him can have an unsettling experience if they're not fully ready to enter CurrieWorld. But I laughed a lot and found myself dancing a lot more than I normally would, so there's much to be said for his bizarre approach to entertainment.
If you love the zany and unexpected then this is definitely worth your time.
Paul Currie is in The Hive at 20.30 until 27 August.
