Is this a record for the longest comedy tour, albeit with a pandemic-shaped gap in the middle? Camp legend Julian Clary started his Born To Mince jaunt in spring 2019. Since then he has written children’s books in lockdown, performed in panto at the Palladium and in The Dresser with Matthew Kelly. Now he is back with his first love. Turning the air blue with bawdy humour.
Perhaps he has been bottling up his urge to shock. Somehow even everyday words suddenly sound borderline obscene when Clary delivers them. Moist. Dryness. Entrance. Succour. IT consultant. His “volcano of filth” erupted so vigorously one began to spot vulgarity where none was even intended. This is adult comedy that makes you giggle like a child.
