HOT: Russell Kane - Gaping Flaws, Melbourne Comedy Festival, Roxanne, 2 Coverlid Place, Melbourne 3000

Russell Kane is the UK's latest bright young comedy talent debuting at the Melbourne Comedy Festival. While he was pretty funny, his inexperience still shows and a week later I can't remember any of his jokes. He spent most of the time pacing the stage and delivering rapid fire quips, but there were definite lulls in the energy where you could just see the audience waiting, waiting, waiting for a punchline. Granted our session was only his second performance, so maybe he's warmed up by now.
