He meets us all outside, making sure that those of us who have seen him before will look after those who have not
Mark Dean Quinn Knits: A Comedy Show, The Hive. Edinburgh * * *
This, of course, deeply unsettles the newbies. Job done.
After talking us through a few things that will not be happening, Mark leaves us to create our own tension. Mark’s shows are a lot about tension while he disappears. This is a fascinating show if you are a fan and delightfully bewildering if you are a newbie. It is not a sad show – which is a new departure for Mark – but has some classic audience participation, some wool, quite a lot of paper and the possibility of love, which is always nice. This is a lovely Mark to spend an hour with, and, albeit he says he has no jokes, there are a lot of laughs.
Until 25 August
