Gary Delaney at the Bloomsbury Theatre review: brutally funny gags had the crowd giggling and gasping

If you crave a laugh, and frankly we could all do with some laughter right now, look no further than Gary Delaney. As long, that is, as you do not easily take offence. Gary In Punderland, finally reaching the capital on a sell-out tour, does not break the taste barrier, it absolutely obliterates it.

The Solihull-born stand-up made his name with his quickfire quips on Mock The Week but the darker humour here would struggle to make a BBC edit. Delaney is particularly partial to the subjects of illness, stupid people and his own sexual inadequacy.
