There's performative scorn, silly voices and animated act-outs in a show that never delves too deep
If you take a look at everything Ed Gamble’s been up to recently, you’d be forgiven for thinking he’s forsaken the world of comedy in favour ofGlutton: The Multi-Course Life Of A Very Greedy Boy, suggests a merging of his worlds. There are tales of Gamble’s love of cooking, his hatred of air fryers, and a painful food-related accident, but the show evades a concrete through line as it skims lightly across updates from his life.
Gamble’s always been an observational storyteller, something that serves him well in his work as a podcaster and presenter. On stage, he spins everyday incidents – drama in the neighbourhood WhatsApp group, an interaction with a hotel receptionist – into vivid scenes filled with colourful characters. There’s plenty of performative scorn, silly voices, and animated act-outs to bring his stories to life.
A scene of affected arrogance, when he announces to the crowd that his marriage has taken him off the market, shows off his stage-filling performance to great effect, as does his transition into the character of a pathetic duke waving his way through A&E. A section on drag, which leads into his act-out of a curious man modelling a “mangina” in the mirror makes a memorable scene too.His descriptive set is dotted with fun little phrases, often punchlines in themselves.
