Can you define what is normal? In Mel McGlensey is NORMAL it becomes rather apparent that normal is less definitive a term as weird.

Mel McGlensey is a seasoned ‘weird’ comedian – her style is offbeat and hilarious, and completely unhinged. In NORMAL, she attempts to perform a normal comedy show. The premise is brilliant – McGlensey is trapped in a simulator where she must perform comedy bits that are not too out there in order to be released. Enter: the algorithm. The audience is provided with different choices in comedy bits and react to them by giving them a score in normalcy. Simple? This show is so incredibly sharp you could use it to skewer kebabs at a barbeque.

McGlensey’s sketches and ideas are completely unhinged – her comedy is very physical, and she delights in audience interaction. Her audience-led bits are so clever they are intuitive enough to encourage participation without bashing people over the head with the concept. As the show changes every time, I cannot guarantee what you will see. McGlensey has clever bits about a large-breasted T-Rex – her physical humour on point here, a simple bit of classic comedy as a bird protecting its eggs, guessing how the audience will die, and some completely whacky fan art.

In the end you decide if Mel McGlensey is indeed normal. McGlensey is having a ball – completely in her element – it’s a show with no fixed ending, the ultimate comedy choose your own adventure and McGlensey shines in every outcome.
