It's not so much the provocation, which is what you'd expect from some comedians at the fringe, but the nonsensical world/fantasy land banter wasn't the slightest bit funny for the MAJORITY of the the audience. Only a few people were laughing, the rest looked puzzled and worried. Surely if it was funny people should be half smiling or laughing? Yes we were some of the dozen or so who left in the first half hour. Why? The start of an attack on JEWS did it for me, as it did for several people on the front row who were Jewish! But mainly he was just so bizarre, and frankly, boring. What a waste of money. Funny how the journalists all love him, though. Must be me! How anyone could have found Hans Teeuwen funny is beyond me!
