Feeling trashy, come see the best comedians as they work out what material of theirs is good and what should be thrown in the bin, and yes you are encouraged to be vocal about it :)

Can You Put This In The Bin For Me? is a mixed bill, international comedy show. It is advertised as a foursome of international comics at their best. I subsequently learn that it has, since the programme went to print, lost a comic and is more of a work in progress compilation. It is most definitely worth seeing. We get Ori Halevy who is an Israeli Jew now living in Germany, an Italian-German called Francesco Kirchhoff, and an intriguing mystery woman called Magdalena, of indeterminate origin. It is an unexpected mixture and a fascinating show.

Ori Halevy is a commanding presence onstage. And closer to the edge of racist than any comic I have seen in a long time. But he is only having a go at Germans, and he is Jewish, so that seems to make it all ok. He tells me later that the Germans themselves love his material. He is like no comic I have seen, and, despite myself, I want to see more.

Francesco does not start well but really gets into his stride with smart, risky but proper comedy about fascism. Francesco has done his history homework and fans of Julius Caesar will be thrilled. We also get yodelling as a weapon in the war against Nazis, TikTok and Gen Z. This is an impressive set. Our special Guest is Magdalena the Fortune Teller. This is unexpectable, clever, ridiculous but great stuff, crystal ball and all. I have laughed more in an hour, but I am so glad I saw this show. Click Here For Review
