Garry Starr has already performed everything and now it's time to see if he can conquer Troy. On night two of a show still in development there are some rough elements in the execution, although this is easily made up for by Starr's witty humor and interconnected sketches.

 

Weaving his broad skillset of singing and dancing into each segment keeps the show fresh and unpredictable. Meanwhile his welcoming stage presence creates a pleasant atmosphere where the light audience participation feels fun and not confronting. Structured around the life of performers and becoming a successful actor, this is a show for both fans of comedy and theatre.

 

With a little bit of polish, this will no doubt grow to be as refined and successful as Garry Starr Performs Everything – however, it isn't there yet.
