94 THE LIST :‘ Set

SiANi.) UP COME UK JAMES CAMPBELL King's Theatre, Glasgow, Sat 11 Sep

Standard adult judgements about what kids find funny: primary colours, dressing up in animal costumes, gunge, gunge in primary colours being emptied on people wearing animal costumes.

Just because they are a wee bit smaller than us oldies doesn’t mean they have any less capacity for intelligent comedy, and the world’s only stand up comedian for children, James Campbell, certainly knows how to provide just that.

His show is largely improvised and rather depends on what has been happening to him that day, but according to James there’s no mystery in getting kids rolling in the aisles: ‘Trying to make children laugh is the same as trying to make adults laugh,’ he says. ‘When you’re doing stand-up comedy, there’s an audience in front of you and you have to react to them. It shouldn’t matter who they are, or how old they are.’

Previous topics have included why big dogs are so chilled out, shrinking old people and toothless tigers. Musically, he has performed his own special version of the Monkees’ classic, ‘l’m a retriever’. 80, due to this use of humour rather than aforementioned gunge, those going along in an accompanying capacity needn’t worry about finding themselves bored.

He must be doing something right, after stints on BBC’s Mysti the Fairy, James has signed a deal with Graham Norton’s So Television production company and has made a soon-to-be-aired pilot for the Disney Channel.

So if the kids like a laugh and you want to enjoy one with them, head in Mr Campbell’s direction (and no one has to dress up as anything). (Morag Bruce)
