Audience Take

Kevin Hill
No doubt about it. The music is forgettable, unfortunately.

That’s the gist - a conflicted journey towards self-awareness for both of them, and I’m afraid it left me uninspired. I had hoped that the comedy might have lifted it more entertainingly from the soap suds, but I’ve never been a fan of victim humour - either from the perspective of the comedian or the subject, and what’s more it made me feel distinctly uncomfortable to hear people laughing at his lame scripts that weren’t remotely funny, but designed to exploit the cracks in his marriage in something of a selfishly cathartic fashion.

To elaborate, witty dialogue throughout. A fair 5.1/10 from me.
