MASAI GRAHAM is back at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe yet again with his fantastic two shows – Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah, It’s 101 Clean Jokes in 30 Minutes and Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrgh, It’s 101 Naughty Jokes In 30 Minutes.
[star rating =5/5]
Masai works 11 months as a care worker to save up his annual leave to bring huge smiles to the faces of those in Edinburgh every August and he certainly did not disappoint.
His style of comedy is cracking short puns and one liners however these are not randomly plucked out, he manages to tell an entire story in a short space of time during his 101 joke shows.
From 2014 to 2016 he was in the top ten best jokes at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and in 2016 he won the award for best joke. He covers a very wide and extensive range of topics including family, work, teaching, charities, celebrities and football. And all of that is just the tip of the iceberg.
His engagement with the audience is first class, consistently coming to the audience for them to choose a number for him to tell a joke, and every time the fully packed audience – especially the one that chose the number for the joke – are left in stitches.
He even invited an audience member on stage for a very interesting and memorable comedy sketch.
The inevitable question arises: what is better – clean jokes or naughty jokes? The truth with these two shows is that the performances by Masai Graham are to an incredible standard.
This makes it very difficult, if not impossible, to answer that question.
Masai Graham’s shows truly are up there with the best that the Fringe has to offer – and it’s free!
