We can’t work out if Alex Kealy lost a bet or if he is just some sort of clown sadist… but the idea of road-testing Silicon Valley monopolies material on a midnight, Free Fringe, Counting House crowd is one hell of a trial by fire!

We were very much there for it though and have to say that, despite our clown’s own harsh criticisms, there is some absolutely brilliant material in this work-in-progress show.

His comedic analysis of these corporations and individuals is both well observed and truly original. It’s just a bit of a shame that he probably got his biggest laugh for comparing his penis to Travel Scrabble!

Based on this raw sample alone I would definitely check out this clown’s finished show – he has strong material, charisma and delivery and anyone willing to put themselves through a test like this is has earned their spot.
