Straight out of Cambridgeshire and truly embracing the spirit of the fringe, Get It On is a stand-up comedy show that showcases two up and coming performers called Ben Hustwayte and Jack Campbell.
Hustwayte kicked off the performance with some pretty straight up and down stand-up comedy. His delivery and material was akin to Russell Howard, even down to changing his voice to a west-country one when he did a faux school child’s voice. As such his set felt a little too familiar at times. Despite this the jokes were funny and there is enough originality to keep the audience interested and entertained. Furthermore he had a number of witty social observations, in particular a game to play whilst in Primark.
The other side of this comedy coin was Jack Campbell. His style differed from Hustwayte’s in that he utilised the audience much more for his humour. This benefitted the show immensely as it kept the mood in the room fresh and prevented the possibility of the hour becoming stale. Whilst there were probably more hearty laughs in Campbell set, unlike Hustwayte he faded a little as the half hour drew to a close, too often reverting back to accent humour that, whilst mildly funny the first time, did not hold its weight.,p>The best way to describe this show is raw. It was funny but ultimately lacked polish. However, whilst this show may not have been a comedic masterpiece, Ben Hustwayte and Jack Campbell may be names to watch.
