There have been plenty of double acts in the history of comedy but Jack Whitehall has gone a stage further and formed a triple act. His current tour sees him onstage interviewing his parents Hilary and Michael. It is a frivolous, fun evening, without too much probing. It makes Graham Norton seem like Jeremy Paxman.
The peg for the show, rescheduled from Christmas, is their group effort book How To Survive Family Holidays, so the gently lobbed questions tend to be cues for honed anecdotes or home movie clips on the screen above them. If you want to see a young Jack running around a sun-drenched pool minus his clothes you’ve come to the right place, although a judiciously placed ball protects his dignity.
