Poof
Loose is a very clever title for the solo show performed by 1/4 of
the infamous four Poofs and a piano seen regularly on Jonathan Ross'
TV show.
Having
seen the whole group twice at the Edinburgh Fringe I was interested
in seeing what Stephen De Martin could do on his own. Not entirely
on his own as he had an accompanist with a keyboard (Simon Sharp).
Stephen's
fabulous voice is used to its full potential in this great show with
a wide variety of numbers a whole lot of comedy and costume changes,
the show is penned by the performer. This Aussie
born, naturalised Britt (he has passed the exam to prove it), has not
only made the UK his home but also the solo stage. He oozes charm,
sophistication and bonhomie all in a quietly camp way.
He is great to look at and has a gorgeous voice and his show
is a pleasure to watch.
