Gosh I loved this show. In a way it’s something I’ve seen plenty of before - a white man at a mic - but in other ways he’s unlike any comedian I’ve seen before. Luke Heggie is in complete control every minute he’s on stage. Early on he invites the audience to wander to the bar for drinks, to the bathroom etc, noting that it won’t distract him at all and I believe it. This guy knows his material perfectly and clearly doesn’t take any shit; do whatever you want but he’ll forge ahead knowing no one has the power to derail this thing.
To a room of about 50 people, Luke talked cafe culture, holiday homes, true crime podcasts, Australians in Bali and more. They sound like familiar topics but Luke’s takes on them are full of hilarious surprises. I really laughed loads in this show and highly recommend it.
On a practical note, the room he plays at European Bier Cafe is hot and the chairs a pretty uncomfortable so brace yourself but the laughs are of course an effective distraction!
