Who the hell are you?" - Popular pre-meme comedy icon circa 1990Back in the day, years ago... fuck it, I wanna say 2010... ish, there was an in-vogue theory knocking around amongst the hustling comedians that if you could simplify your look down to a basic 2D line drawing of yourself you could become a massive name. Think Colonel Sanders. Or Captain Birdseye. Alan Carr's specs.

Nothing gives me a back row semi more than seeing an unknown comedian walk on stage with a big hold-all and start dumping out props and costumes about the gaff. Could be a faded supermarket bag for life, an army backpack or a canvas sack.

Although he is a few years past newcomer status, Adam Flood's Back Of The Spoon has the pleasing positives of a debut hour. The scattershot grab bag of years of curated proven circuit gold. A 'Greatest Hits' unbeholden to grand narratives. To make up for the lack of obvious cohesion he has a right old breakfast motif filling his big plate. Dads love marmalade. Top rated full English breakfasts. And a requiem to a six-slice toaster. It ain't all wakey wakey eggs and bacc-ey.
