A What's Good to Do Review
January has been a quiet month for reviews and then this week we have been to two shows! On Thursday evening we went to The Lowry to see Isy Suttie and had a really good night out.
Isy Suttie is an award-winning comedian, writer, songwriter
and actress. The Actual One is her new show about that moment in your late 20s
when you suddenly realise that all your mates are growing up without you -
featuring stories, songs and readings from her new book of the same name. The
book was available to buy after the show and there was also the opportunity to
meet Isy and buy a signed copy of the book.
Mark is a fan of Isy so he was really looking forward
to the show, he even missed Scouts so we could go! I wasn't familiar with her work but I really enjoyed the night and
look forward to seeing her again.
Before the support act, Harriet Kemsley; Isy came on stage
to introduce herself and welcome everyone to the show, I thought this was
really nice and added a personal touch to the show.
Isy talked about past boyfriends, friends settling down,
parents and her teenage years growing up in Matlock. Being a similar age to Isy
meant it was easy to relate to many of the situations she found herself in. She
was very good at involving the audience and there was plenty of laughter
throughout the night.
I really liked the style of the show, as well as being a
comedian Isy is also a talented musician and songwriter and played songs she
had written about her life. The night flowed well and was very well structured
and the songs linked the different subjects together. Isy is also an excellent
singer and used a lot of different voices which added humour to the
performance.
Including the support act the show lasted about an hour and
a half including a short interval.
We had a really good night out and I would certainly
recommend that you go and see Isy at one of her performances of the tour.
