As I’m writing this Pam Ford would have just completed her run at this year’s Fringe. She is one sound lady, & as a whirpool of energy balls buzz about inside her chakras, we are all transported rather comfortably into her comedy creation. This is bascially Pam herself, who gives us a lovely blend of personal anecdotes & well-crafted jokes, which heats up the room to a lovely appreciative temperature.
There are sporadic moments of pathos, but of course that is the nature of her show – she work’d in a care home, & thro’ the Covid pandemic as well – such topics not generally being sources of amusement. But the rest of her stuff is rich & varied & at times very, very funny. Pam is an excellent conjurer of her characters – all the people she meets along the pathways of the show are brought to life with perfect realism. This is down to the fact, I garner’d, that the spirit of being alive & enjoying life is thoroughly embedded in Pam Ford, & I feel she’s realis’d that bringing such energy to the people via stand-up is her natural calling.
Sod caffiene, I think we’re all better off with a wee dose of Pam Ford to start our day – I was in a reyt good mood after I left the City Cafe yesterday, & despite the sunshine thought I’d go & see some more comedy, so inspir’d to just enjoy laughing had Pam left me. Thanks doll!
