Egg has developed a very specialist niche in the stand up world, showing audiences how to cook proper meals in the most unlikely of environments. This show builds upon three of his past successes using the sort of items you might find in your own workshop, or on a train, or in a hotel room. He cooks as he speaks as you laugh. A non stop parade of gags and physical comedy, with the bonus culinary tips and tempting aromas.
So George turned out kippers and poached eggs using workshop tools; grilled aubergine salad (featuring his own very special 'laptop') as you would do it on Avanti; and pancakes with hazelnuts and blueberries as done in a hotel room. Proper recipes too, with some flair to the presentation - not easy to manage when you have to keep up the comic patter at the same time. So it's impressive as well as very very funny.
Best of all, the audience gets to try out his creations as they leave. Bon appetit.
George Egg : Set Menu is on at 16.25, in the Piccolo in George Square Gardens, until the 28th.
