Down To The Bone (Liam Mullone)
By Sarah Mulvenna | Published on Wednesday 10 August 2011
Liam Mullone bumbles across the stage, drink in hand, a little like a strange Uncle at a family gathering; it’s oddly pleasant and certainly amusing. There is an obvious prowess to the way his comedy is written and some of his analogies are genius. He takes umbrage to being described as pedestrian, so I will avoid that word, but he is terribly safe with his jokes. I very nearly panicked when he began blathering about his newly acquired children, something many comedians seem to engage in when they become parents and thus discover kids exist for the first time. To my relief, this was not dwelt on for long. He has the right raw ingredients for a very good show.
