In this show Jay Foreman stands at the front of an inflatable stage and sings songs and plays his guitar and harmonica. He also recites poems and cracks a good few jokes in between, highlighting funny things in day-to-day life. Some of the poems, jokes and songs were about rude or naughty things, such as sewage, toilet bacteria and stealing food and some of them were just about silly things.

I enjoyed some parts of the show, especially towards the end. It was funny when he made a nursery rhyme into complete comedy and he is a good singer and guitarist. He was good at interacting with the crowd and making sure we were involved.  However, I did find the performance a bit repetitive at times and also a little predictable. I thought the show was good but it could have been more varied.
