Lucy Frederick: Even More Naked
Comedy Reviewer 7/10
#edfringe 3 stars
She once bared all on the channel 4 programme 'how to look good naked" and openly discuses her experiences and reasoning for taking part.
This takes up a large part of the show, It's probably more interesting than funny but is still entertaining.
About half way through she suddenly changes the discussion to talk about mental health, it seems out of the blue, no seamless link here, it's just dropped in and comes across as rather odd. You get pockets of laughter scattered within the hour but it's mostly sniggers at other times.
Towards the end things start to become clear, the two topics are in fact related and as the show comes to its powerful conclusion you start to regret earlier judgments. I'm sure this is exactly how the hour is supposed to plan out.
It's a clever show that's hard hitting and thought provoking. Some will love it, some may hate it but for me there is just not enough in the way of laughter.
