I'm a big fan of Dilruk, primarily due to his appearances on a comedy podcast I love, "The Little Dum Dum Club". He's had commercial success of late, regularly popping up on TV shows like "Have You Been Paying Attention" and "Cram".
I liked this show but confess I didn't love it as much as I hoped to. To my mind this show was a bit up and down. There was funny material the crowd really seemed to love about stuff like expensive candles and bladder infections (or not, as the case may be) but the candle gear was the first time the crowd really laughed hard and that wasn't until about 20-25 minutes into the one hour show. There was lots of other material that was good but didn't seem to soar as you might hope, generating more a chuckle from the crowd than a big collective cackle. The art of balancing introspection with gags is really hard to master and whilst this show takes a good shot at it at various points along the way, overall it doesn't quite nail it for me.
I've seen Dilruk at MICF in previous years and there's no doubt his delivery gets slicker and slicker as the years go by and his time spent on stage increases.
In the interests of fairness I'll keep an eye out for professional reviews of his show and post them here, especially if they have a markedly different view to me. As yet, I can't see any on the Herald Sun, Age or Chortle, a UK comedy site who send their main reviewer to Melbourne for this festival.
ADDED 5-4-18: The Herald Sun has given Dilruk's show four stars. You can read their review here.
