Event

Paul Duncan McGarrity- Ask an Archaeologist
Paul Duncan McGarrity brings his sell out Edinburgh show 'Ask an Archaeologist' to London for a very special show. Set in a wigwam dressed up as a viking drinking hall, on the roof of a pub, Paul will answer some of your questions about life as an archaeologist. It may be rude, it will certainly be crude, but we will all be protected by context (probably)

Broadwaybaby review of the Edinburgh show

Sitting in a cosy room in the Cabaret Voltaire, McGarrity creates an environment different to most stand up shows. Everyone who arrives is greeted, and McGarrity too takes a seat, making it feel more like a little chat over a coffee rather than a stand up gig. The material of the show lends itself well to this atmosphere and the interaction with the audience is eased by the casual mood. McGarritys show is pretty well named  jokes are thrown out at pace, with almost no break in the laughter  but otherwise its a really interesting conversation between the audience and him about archaeology.

McGarrity tells us that he always gets asked the same, often stupid, questions and then invites us to ask him some. Some brave souls ventured a query or two and a dialogue was opened, chock full of laughs but also some very interesting observations and facts about archaeology. As a history grad it very much appealed to the hidden ye olde times geek inside me.

I couldnt help just really liking this guy, his style and everything he had to say. Unlike a few comedians, every time he strayed into the taboo it felt justified and genuinely funny, rather than just for the sake of being offensive. The hour seemed to fly-by and I felt myself really wanting to stay and hear more. McGarritys show relies on audience interaction, so its no shock hes a master at handling it and every riff with an audience member, for example the woman knitting in the far corner, was hilarious and clever in equal measure.
A more pleasant way to pass an hour could scarcely be found. Head to Ask an Archaeologist tomorrow to learn something and have a laugh while doing it.
