Jake Robbinson’s Solo performance went very well and captured a quintessential essence of the Eric Bogosian and Anna Deavere Smith styles of performing.  It can be considered he was stand up – esque in his delivery as it made people laugh, however this can still be considered along the Bogosian performance roots.

James Barker by contrast but similar in some aspects, performed a political stand-up set, in which the audience were enthralled and capsulated by the very get go and grasped the core nature of stand up being very similar to that of such performers as Doug Stanhope and Frankie Boyle.

They were very different performances but similar in their way of delivery using humour and personal stories. Two very powerful, very compelling performances.
