[Fringe Review] Stephen K. Amos’ More of Me
* * * * *
There are actors and then there are the likes of John Gielgud, Laurence Oliver and Derek Jacobi. And at the Fringe, there are comediens and then there are the likes of Stephen K Amos.
A complimentary show to last years critically acclaimed ‘All of Me,’ Amos is a stand up who can dance around with his audience, while gently probing them for their foibles, quirks and hiccups, spin those around with a rapier wit, and disarm any unlikely hostility with charm and modesty. You cannot fail to like this man, melt in his presence, and watch the time fly - and holding my sides with pains of laughter.
And then you step back and realise that Amos is talking about some of the most painful periods of his life; being sperated from his twin sister at school; an awkward adolesence; university flatmates; and waiting on Lenny Henry to move on… Well maybe not that last one
A true master. Rush to his presence at all costs.
