A tall thin handsome man enters the Bosco theatre in a sharp suit and bright blue shirt, then sits down at a white grand piano. He explains that he was destined to be at the Edinburgh Fringe this year, as when he was born a gypsy predicted it well Im glad she did because Sammy J with his blend of music and quick witted improvisation is one of the best comics at the festival so far. Think a hot up-to-date version of Victoria Wood singing witty songs about such topics as Y2K, Metaphor and how to cover all the bases when it comes to the afterlife. With a knock at the political correctness crowd, a great duet with himself and Jacko the koala Sammy J is sure to be a hit this festival. The audience fell in love with this new star almost immediately, energetic and engaging Sammy effortlessly created a rapport with everyone in the room. Watch out for his stunning backwards song, interruptions from Tom Hanks and some undressing at the end! Another great show at the Spiegel Garden. Not to be missed.
