There’s a real sense of cabaret at work in the diversity of the performers at tonight's third edition of Vagabond Comedy: a strong showing from musical acts (Huge Davies, Frank Foucault, Siblings) and a nicely ad hoc, offbeat quality to proceedings. There's Sunil Patel, for example, deadpanning his list of ‘ideas’ (‘Best Monk in Britain’, ‘Best Monk in Britain 2’) or Frank Foucault’s similarly eccentric contribution: satirical songs animated by the elusive charm of his persona. Meanwhile Charlie Webster added a touch of vaudeville, drifting through his flat to a love song, lugubrious face wafting amongst the clothes in the wardrobe, in an irresistibly comic manner.
