Fergus Craig is a young stand-up with a confession to make. He still watches Neighbours!! And judging by the numbers that are pouring into his show he is not alone in the sustained fascination with this Aussie soap.

Entering the venue being serenaded by Kylie ‘n’ Jason and Stefan Dennis (!) set the tone as the personable young lad took to the stage and led us through this very enjoyable hour.

The show was partly him talking, partly clips of various pivotal moments from the Ramsay Street family, picking up on slight flaws, but for those fans providing a lost of nostalgia along the way.

Along with excerpts from Jason Donavan’s Autobiography, a few clips and pictures of his childhood, some at least linked to the show, an 1992 Neighbours Annual purchased from e-bay and a bit director commentary style observations all add to what is a very pleasant but unchallenging hour of entertainment.
