Review: Aidan Killian: Follow The Money

Ostensibly Follow The Money is about the ex-investment banker turning on his former colleagues and exposing the inner workings of banks. Geopolitics, conspiracy theories and Trump’s relationship with Putin also get a look in.

What we got was an incoherent mix of that show interspersed with Killian railing against his cousin (who joined the audience late after being at the cricket), dick jokes as he waited for other audience members to get back from the bathroom and a bizarre passage when he sat onstage and waited for several British audience members to sing ‘God Save The Queen’. It was an absurdist spectacle that was utterly enthralling.

One gets the sense that Killian will always put on a somewhat rambling show. He’s fond of long-winded rants about injustice and the best of these are genuinely moving though he could rein it in a little at times.

Likewise, his comedic material occasionally has an overly delayed payoff but if there’s one takeaway from this performance, it’s that he’s a genuinely charismatic comedian who’ll do whatever he needs to keep the audience entertained.

Aidan Killian: Follow The Money was performed at Piglet in Gluttony on Wednesday, February 22 and continues until Sunday, March 5
