| Christian Reilly |
Christian Reilly popped in to Cirencester in an almost out
of the blue manner, if people didn’t know how local promoter Dani Rastelli has
been bringing big names to the area for years. Christian is a well known pro
who has excelled at using his guitar to aide, and not distract from his comedy!
So many times adding a tool to the mix doesn’t help comedians. Christian Reilly
has found a way to be musically good at the guitar and yet not do it in a way
that loses the audience. It’s refreshing as many people who use an instrument
in comedy do it badly. Christian has managed to find himself on the right side
of Andy Kaufman in making his music both good, quirky and funny.
The fact this was a free entry show was incredible, and the
reason for it was because the set was being polished for an intensive Edinburgh
run this August. The audience certainly appreciated getting a sneak peak. You
can always tell when an audience is won over, because Christian’s mistakes went
down better than some comedian’s best material. Songs referenced included Van
Halen and Billy Joel. A country pastiche on Johnny Cash’s “Boy Named Sue” went
down particularly well.
If you do happen to be in Edinburgh for the festival, make
sure you find Christian! But you don’t have to travel 600 miles to see him.

Luckily for Cirencester, this isn’t the only
Edinburgh preview. At the same venue you can see Milo McCabe on the 29th
June. To find out more details visit this link.
