Kyle Kinane comes to the Soho Theatre bearing plaudits from America and his recent acclaimed appearance at the Melbourne Comedy Festival. He is supposed to be a cut above the usual slick US comedy fraternity. He certainly looks different in his heavily bearded press pictures, a little like a young sibling of Seasick Steve. So it’s a bit of a shock when he walks onstage relatively clean-shaven and takes off his hat to reveal a close-cropped coiffure and looks more like Alan Shearer.
