Michael Legge: Free Wi-Fi

This year Michael Legge has decided that he doesn't want to be consistently angry anymore. For him that's tougher than it sounds though and he still spends most of his hour getting quite worked up over just about everything. Luckily he immediately has the audience on his side following a hilariously high-octane entrance "like they do on Live at the Apollo".

He then quickly settles into his rhythm of complaining about stuff with a range of relatable gripes, mainly complaining about how other people complain on Twitter. That might sounds tiresome but Legge has a sharp eye for a ludicrous premise and amusing turn of phrase, which brings the material to life, as demonstrated by an excellent routine about being confronted by an unusual gang of youths. Legge actually works best when his anger, and the subtle thread of surrealism which often underpins it, is downplayed a little bit and some of the biggest laughs here are casually added tags.

There is a loose structure to the show which becomes too apparent towards the end, and an over-long anecdote about a lonely holiday spent in Bulgaria causes a bit of a lull in the atmosphere. However the closing story offers a perfect accompaniment to Legge's theme and provides a strong finish to a very accomplished hour of whinging.
