The comedy club vibe went posh this weekend with stand-up hijacking the Harold Pinter Theatre. Not that the performers were in awe of the venue. Brett Goldstein, star of football sitcom Ted Lasso, claimed he hated plays, though at one point during his set he said he was taking a pause between jokes, which was maybe a subtle tribute to Pinter himself, the master of the onstage hiatus.
First act was Aisling Bea, who has always been a livewire and now she knows why. She was recently diagnosed with ADHD, which on Saturday night seemed to have given her scattershot sense of silliness license to fly off in multiple directions.
