Comedy review: Christopher Macarthur-Boyd and Rosco Mclelland
Star rating: ***
Venue: Gilded Balloon at the Counting House (Venue 170)
First up is Rosco Mclelland, so laid back he’s almost horizontal.
He’s holding an open umbrella, for no particular reason. He tells a story about his grandma’s burial, another about a ‘mudman’ in the park, dons sunglasses for a game of ‘am I looking at you or am I looking somewhere else?’

Hide AdIt’s not brilliant stuff, very studenty. I like him more than I like his material.
Christopher Macarthur-Boyd is Mclelland’s flatmate and they’re quite the contrasting pair. Where Mclelland looks T in the Park, Macarthur-Boyd is more tea at the Balmoral. Macarthur-Boyd, who says people see him as a Gok Wan/Ronnie Corbett hybrid, shows off the unfortunate tattoo he got at 18, explains why it’s not great to have a girlfriend who speaks Italian and generally amuses.
Whichever comic sounds more your thing, as a Pay What You Want show this is worth a punt. Heck, you may even enjoy both.
Until 29 August. Today, 6pm.
