I FOUND so little to relate to in Chris Martin’s stand-up that I began to wonder if we were the same species.

One of Martin’s “observations” is that people past the age of 30 don’t think about sex, just food. Really? There’s the way to alienate half your audience. I tried and tried, but I could not hear the comic voice. It was like watching a person impersonating a comedian, and an audience laughing where they thought they should. Other than finding out he doesn’t like cheese, I left not knowing who Chris Martin is. Baffling.

Rating: **

Until 27 August. Today 8:45 pm.
