Greg Davies: Firing Cheeseballs at a Dog

Greg Davis on stage is honestly where he performs best in my opinion he says what most people think and feel when they reach a certain age and doesn't care what people think of him this show is about his life from his school days to his school days as a teacher he gets the crowd involved and makes you laugh doing his thing.

I like Greg Davies but I just didn't find this one that funny. It felt a bit half arsed and thrown together. Like just a weird selection of anecdotes and asking the audience for nicknames. It felt a bit amateur and not a polished act.

He also acted like it was the first show of the run but then mentioned previous places, so gags like with the water fell flat.

There are loads of comedy shows that I will watch again and again but this is not one of them. I'm sure that I have also seen him repeat the space mission gag elsewhere too, so there just wasn't much original material. It just felt like a strange combination of fillers.

I just watched two of Greg Davies' shows, You Magnificent Beast and Firing Cheeseballs At A dog. Personally I preferred the first one but Firing Cheeseballs At A Dog is also funny. The fact that he uses real things that happened in his life, and that he talks with so much humor about his family, is something special and almost unique. Greg Davies as a stand-up-comedian is pleasant to watch, no dull boring moments, always in for a bit of sarcasm and not afraid of laughing with himself. A couple time per show he uses the audience in his show and that's always welcome when playing in front of a big crowd. He has the feeling to do that and that's a good thing. This show might not be teardropping laughter but it is pleasant to watch and funny.
