THEATRE – Show – Lewis Fuller’s ‘Ungentlemenly Conduct’

Must read

Lewis Fuller – ‘Ungentlemanly Conduct’ 

I went to see Lewis Fuller’s Ed Fringe debut, not knowing entirely what to expect, as I know him purely based on his magic skills. What Lewis delivers is a slick blend of Saturday Night Variety-style performance with a touch of Vegas pizzazz sprinkled throughout. It’s a show with a complex mixture of ideas, with one or two elements that don’t work as well as the others, but overall, it’s a thoroughly entertaining performance.

A likeable character, Lewis combines the magic and sleight of hand he’s known for with his frankly epic vocal talents, some cheeky comedy quips, and a fictional big-screen backstory that’s a nod to the Netflix show The Gentleman.  Lewis interacts with the crowd throughout, and tonight, they were somewhat lacklustre. Seemingly undeterred, he continues with his high-energy approach – which can surely win over any room (Lewis has performed for celebrities and Royalty many times). There are watch tricks, card tricks, a doozy of a credit card trick and even £500 up for grabs.  His charm, wit and talents win over the audience, who are now fully on board for a rousing sing-along.  Ungentlemanly Conduct is an ambitious show, but Lewis Fuller has the chops to deliver it brilliantly.

The Gilded Balloon (Downstairs), Patter House at 8.30pm until 25 August. Tickets: HERE
