Sam Campbell at Soho Theatre review: the Australian comedian is clearly a brilliant one-off

Australian comedian Sam Campbell does not do things the normal way. At the Edinburgh Festival Fringe last summer he put only one poster up in the city and it did not even have his name or venue on it. He must have been doing something right though. He won Dave’s Edinburgh Comedy Award for Best Show.

He finally has his first Soho run in London since his victory and is still not playing by conventional rules. No press tickets were available, instead cold hard plastic had to be handed over in exchange for a ticket. The good news is that the Edinburgh judges were not wrong. He is more than worth the entry fee.
