The actual title of Glenn Moore's show is Will You Still Need Me, Will You Still Feed Me, Glenn I'm Sixty Moore, which might have broken my website if I'd run it in the headline. But in a way it sums up what Moore is about. While other comedians try for something zippy and Tik Tok-friendly for comedy fans with short attention spans, Moore goes down a traditional route with a pun so cheesy you can almost see a line of mice chasing after it.
And if you like that sort of thing, which I'm afraid I do, you'll love his show, which is absolutely packed with similarly well-crafted bangers. In a recent interview we ran with him he mentioned that he has been told by his agent that maybe he includes too many gags. On the other hand you certainly get your money's worth here with more zingers in an hour than other comedians will crack in a lifetime.
As is often the way with one-liner comedians you probably don't get much of the real Glenn here – we can just about assume that his name is genuine, but even that's an excuse for fun and games - he says it basically means "Field Field".
There are some lovely running jokes too, where the seed is planted early on and it blooms later. There is no let up from start to finish as every line leads to a comic pay-off. It really is a case of quips with everything.
Moore is part of that endangered species, the white, middle class male. He is not fashionable and he probably knows it or why would he dress like a public school English teacher, but what he is is funny to the very core of his being. Feeling a bit low? Go and see Glenn Moore and he will sort you out. Feeling on top of the world? Go and see Glenn Moore anyway. He's outstanding in his field field.
