This is not another edgy Fringe comedy. No, Hamell takes edgy on in the first minutes of the show, and then leaves it way behind with a song about oral sex, followed, without missing a beat, with a song about sickness, death and suicide in his own family. Not many performers could turn this material into ragingly funny comedy and rock; he takes on politics, family truth, religion and death with angry passion, bitingly caustic wit and a 'face solo' that quite simply defies words. All this and he still comes out with hope. The man may well be a genius. Obscene, outrageous and brilliant.
