Canadian Bartender at Butlins

Entertaining storytelling

If the basic purpose of theatre is to tell a story (and an entertaining one at that), then TJ Dawe has it covered. Recounting the experiences of a summer working at a holiday camp, this monologue has the feel of a fireside ghost story, interspersed with philosophical musings, anecdotes, and a transatlantic perspective on British life, language and custom. It might simply be a likeable foreigner telling a story, but it’s a good one, and he tells it well. (David Laing)

Underbelly’s Baby Belly, 0870 745 3083, until 26 Aug, 6.10pm, £9–£10 (£8–£9).
