Richard Gadd – Waiting For Gaddot (Richard Gadd / PBH’s Free Fringe)
By Vicki Baron | Published on Tuesday 18 August 2015
If you are going to mess around with a genre, this is exactly how to do it. Gadd’s show is billed as a comedy, but it’s also a maelstrom of film, rage and panicked phone calls. Running almost an hour late for his hour-long show, Gadd communicates with his terrified technician (played wonderfully by Ben Target), as he attempts to get from his mother’s home in a caravan park to his venue. The chaos is heightened by the appearance of Ian Smith, who steals the show as a furious ex-lover of Gadd’s girlfriend. Gadd’s eventual appearance, and the resultant madness, is the perfect end to one of the strangest and best shows you will see this Fringe.
