Not all comedy shows need weighty themes or moments of bare-all vulnerability just before curtain-fall. Demi Adejuyigbe pretends to have the latter, but I wasn’t fooled. Which made a change: this American act (also a writer on US sitcom The Good Place) is a master of the rug-pull, constructing one usually daft reality only to subvert it before you’ve found your footing, often for a dafter reality beneath.
This he accomplishes with an array of resources at his disposal (PowerPoint, musical theatre, audience interaction, a robot sidekick) in a show that purportedly builds to the party piece promised in its title: Demi Adejuyigbe Is Going to Do One (1) Backflip.
