REVIEWS FROM EDINBURGH FEST 2006
Lindsay Webb-Foolosophy
****
SW ..Three Weeks..
For his first hour long fringe show Lindsay Webb did a good job. After assuring us that he wouldn..t pick on us if we moved closer to the front, Webb quickly launched into what was basically his life story. Luckily, it was funny and contained lots of reference to the title of his show .. Foolosophy (my favourite being the theory that the closer we are to the toilet suddenly the more desperate we are to go). Despite all the good stuff, there were a few dodgy jokes as well, but this is probably due to the fact that Webb had an hour to cover- overall though, it was a very good attempt in his Edinburgh Debut.

JAY RICHARDSON- ..The Scotsman..
CAFE ROYAL FRINGE THEATRE (VENUE 47)
SOMETIMES an audience defines a stand-up gig as much as the comedian. This is Lindsay Webb's first Fringe and he attracted a weird crowd this evening.
Starting uncertainly, this Australian was encouraged by a steady trickle of latecomers, some arriving after 20 minutes, and one man who laughed uproariously at even the weakest gag.
But frustratingly, the front row were enjoying their own conversations and laughing over his set-ups. This visibly irked Webb, who was clearly still fathoming which of his cultural references would translate to the UK; he was receiving few reliable indicators from those before him.
Foolosophy is a very personal account of the way people try to fool you in life, from Webb's parents, to his teachers, to encounters with women and policemen.
Reasonably amusing throughout, it's the story of a farmboy resisting authority and struggling to fit in. And the turning point is one very good routine about attending church and a certain breakfast cereal, which immediately had the entire audience laughing from the same hymn sheet.
Nobody seemed more pleasantly surprised than Webb, who's obviously still developing but is a good-natured, blokey comic with real promise.
Lindsay Webb - Foolosophy .. Comedy
Kitty Hudson ..The List..
A simple yet clever theme allows Webb to use his life as subject matter with immediate comedy value added. He charts a straightforward path through life from birth to maturity in a way that all can relate to, yet from a new angle and through a succession of charming anecdotes he catches universal human foibles down to a T. First class Aussie humour with a fresh twist.
