Alfred Williams Tells A Joke

 
Bruce Kent Review by Bruce Kent 1 Published: 6 Aug 2006 Show Dates: 31 Dec 1969-31 Dec 1969

One joke drawn out for an hour by adding lame gags and consciously clever word play.

Parts of the show suggest Alfred could be a decent story teller but his material lets him down.

Alfred claims to demonstrate the forgotten art of the pub raconteur but he's like none I've encountered. Yes he seems like a nice guy but there is little passion in his delivery and little of interest in his tale.

The hour is hard work for the audience and comedian. His extremely rushed delivery of minutely detailed description is hard to enjoy. With an hour to fill he could slow down and work on presenting his story in a more interesting way.

The tiny audience responded to the puns with a few giggles and groans.
