Comedian. Cook. Repurposer of vehicles into kitchen utensils.

George Egg was all these things and more as he served up his brilliantly silly Movable Feast show at the Old Fire Station last night.

Part stand-up set, part cooking show, this gig - which sold out at the Edinburgh fringe - sees George stood behind a cooking table like a dynamic TV chef.

He creates three dishes during the set - a vegetarian aubergine concoction you could conceivably make on a train; a mackerel dish blowtorched in a hubcap; and chicken cooked in an honestly-real car engine.

What's great about Egg and this show is that both components - the comedy and the cooking - are of remarkable quality. With his warm and witty banter and surreal little anecdotes, Egg has the quality of always being one step ahead of the audience, subverting expectations and gently pulling rugs from under our feet. His means of both keeping cool and finding your way back through a French supermarket was especially good advice.

And on the cooking front, Egg lays out the dishes he made for the audience to try at the end of the show, and they were genuinely nice.

This was the Old Fire Station's first comedy gig since it re-opened. It's a greaty venue for comedy - intimate and warm. It's just a shame there weren't a few more punters last night. But hopefully as Things Improve and Covid concerns are gradually allayed, it will begin to draw the full houses it deserves.
