Dale Elliott Jr might be a Jamaica-born Los Angeles resident but he appeared completely at home in Soho Theatre Walthamstow last night. A packed house, including a hefty contingent of local fans with Caribbean roots, ensured that he was in a relaxed frame of mind as soon as he walked on flanked by a camera team shooting his smartphone-lit entrance.
Elliott is the latest in a wave of comics making the transition to onstage stardom from online fame, where his followers include Usain Bolt and Snoop Dogg. Two years into a stand-up career and things are clearly going well, with his current Son Of An Immigrant tour taking in a chunk of Europe before heading back to North America.
