Dave Thornton "So What Now?" - MICF / by Stephanie Puls

Dave Thornton has been part of the Australian comedy scene for a really long time and that's obvious when you watch him on stage. He's got a warm, natural style that brings the crowd along with him.

The comedy in "So What Now?" is enjoyable but it won't blow your socks off. Material about gentrified Brunswick and baby boomers being mystified by smart phones and Uber was enjoyed by the crowd, which unfortunately only filled about half the room.

Dave's comfort on stage was also evident when he interacted with the crowd. There was some fun had in these interactions but for me, it was too great a proportion of the overall show. Some of it went really well, some of it less so.

The Herald Sun have reviewed this show and given it three stars which I reckon is just right. You can get the details of the show here https://www.comedyfestival.com.au/2018/shows/dave-thornton-so-what-now
