Fans of Bryan Safi as the co-host of the hit podcast Attitudes will be familiar with his comedic skills. However, there’s no doubt that he will have a surge of new fans after his Fringe debut. In a word, it’s hilarious. After arriving on stage and singing about some cold-hearted snakes in his life, Safi is raring to go. After a truly excellent joke about a British supermarket, he explores his nature of people-pleasing and leads the audience in a game of ‘Homophobia Or Serving?’, inspired by his mother’s remarks to him growing up. When it comes to his audience interaction, it’s a blast. Climbing all over the seats and sitting down next to us, he’s earned that trust.

There’s plenty more here for audiences to get their teeth into. From his tips on dressing for success and flirting, to his simple analysis of a kindergarten teacher’s t-shirt, there’s a beautiful level of emotional maturity to Safi’s material that constantly has the audience in stitches. It’s a difficult line to walk: engaging the audience with consistently funny comedy whilst also making us care about the performer onstage, but Safi seems to do it with ease.
