One of the word-of-mouth hits in Edinburgh last year was Andrew Watts' Feminism For Chaps. It did so well that Watts added some extra free daytime shows and I had to sit behind a family tucking into their scampi and fries, which was not really the ideal comedy environment. But you could still see that Watts had something. An immediately accessible fogeyish persona and a bumptious take on the world and a woman’s place in it. It was hard to work out how much exactly was character comedy and how much was just a heightened version of Watts’ actual mindset, but there was no denying that his worldview was funny and that his comic precision was spot-on. Watts returns this year with How To Build A Chap, looking at the perils of parenting and offering tips on nurturing the right kind of  son. The title might have a nod to Caitlin Moran, the middle class attitudes might have a whiff of early Miles Jupp, but Watts is growing into a comedian of some stature in his own right.

Andrew Watts is at Antenna Studios tonight, info here, and at the Counting House from Aug 6 - 30, info here.
