Aaaaargh! It's 101 Naughty Jokes in 30 Minutes – Free Show

If you find it in your heart to forgive the failings of Masai Graham’s previous show, Aaaaah! It’s 101 Clean Jokes in 30 Minutes, and stuck around for the follow-up, you’ll be pleasantly surprised at what he has in store. Graham drops the clean-cut act from his routine for a no-holds-barred performance that takes pot shots in all directions, sparing no race, religion, or creed; and all through the witty lyricism of his infamous, trademark puns.

Graham drops the clean-cut act from his routine for a no-holds-barred performance that takes pot shots in all directions

There are some wobbles here and there, where one or two jokes are woefully predictable or lack a grounded context. But the general experience is no less commendable. Fringe goers need not worry; despite the slow-burn start, Graham succeeds in its ultimate goals of leaving you laughing without resorting to desperate, amateur-hour tactics.

If Graham stuck to just this kind of humour, he wouldn’t be laden with the sorry reputation of the previous show. But then, maybe it is necessary to offer a contrast. Let’s face it, clean humour may not cut it in 2016, and compared with his clean show, the dirty one garners far more laughs where it is evident he makes more use of his sizeable audience. Graham derives humour from being casually offensive with blatant disregard to social convention; and that is what makes dirty jokes so appealing.

So if you can forgive the failures of Aaaaah! It’s 101 Clean Jokes in 30 Minutes, do not hesitate to come along to its hilarious counterpart, a show which, above all things, delivers what it promises.

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.
