Previously, award-winning comedian George Zacharopoulos has tackled two of the largest topics which can envelope a person’s life: break-ups and death. So where is Zacharopoulos taking audiences next? Well, given the current climate and constant media spin on the subject, it seems that the only course of action is his early life, and emigration from Greece to the UK. Specifically, the small (and big) choices which have led the comedian remaining here (away from his family and the sunshine of his birthplace), whether it was through study, women or comedy. The Butterfly Effect is a fluttering hour of stand-up, but lacks a cohesive structure, flopping around quite frequently, hitting some highs, mercifully avoiding low points.

Threaded amongst the more scattergun tactics of delivery are some solid (and even brave) punchlines which tie the show into a bit more of a streamlined vein; he focuses on his teenage mistakes, and the more racist and inappropriate actions which he’s learned from. It’s a bit of a smorgasbord which befits Zacharopoulos’ style charmingly: a take what you want and enjoy it affair. If this gag hasn’t worked for you? Move on and appreciate the next one.
