John Kearns: The Varnishing Days

 
Michael Benson Review by Michael Benson 5 Published: 11 Aug 2023 Monkey Barrel Comedy Show Dates: 2 Aug 2023-13 Aug 2023

Attending John Kearns' show, The Varnishing Days, was an absolute treat that demands to be seen! Right from his entrance, he had us hooked with his distinctive and uproarious performance.

An unmissable experience for those craving an unforgettable night

Kearns' comedic style defies conventions; a flawless fusion of gut-busting laughter and razor-sharp observations. His musings on fatherhood with a one-year-old hit the sweet spot between relatability and sidesplitting hilarity, forging an instant bond with his audience.

Transforming everyday items like bin bags and teatowels into comedic gold was pure genius. We found ourselves in fits of uncontrollable laughter at the simplest things, all thanks to Kearns' impeccable delivery and comedic timing.

Drawing parallels between his comedy and a chef unveiling a high-end restaurant was wonderfully surreal yet incredibly entertaining. He seamlessly wove this analogy throughout, leaving us spellbound by his inventiveness and wit. Beyond the laughter, Kearns generously shared valuable insights. Unexpected yet immensely appreciated, his tips on locating Van Gogh's iconic paintings seamlessly merged humour with practical knowledge.

Throughout the show, Kearns embraced the unpredictability, keeping us guessing and thoroughly entertained. His commitment and passion for delighting the audience were palpable.

The Varnishing Days is an absolute gem in the comedy world, an unmissable experience for those craving an unforgettable night of laughter and entertainment. John Kearns' show is a must-see, and we eagerly await the chance to bask in his brilliance once more!

The Varnishing Days is the heart-stopping, glasses-dropping, hard-rocking, wig-shaking, levothyroxine-taking, knee-knocking, boot-licking, justifying, teeth-rattling, digressing new show from stand-up comedian to the stars John Kearns.
