Donny Vostok returns with an hour of 'anti-anti' comedy after 16 years of strange alternative comedy, part of the Glasgow International Comedy Festival.
Donny Vostok is back at Gael & Grain on Wednesday 24 March, with an hour of what he calls 'anti-anti' comedy. It's part of the Glasgow International Comedy Festival, so it's one of the many shows running across the city that month.
For context, Vostok has spent the last 16 years working in strange alternative comedy, and this new hour is his response to that. He describes it as 'anti-anti' comedy, and he's pretty open about what that means: less of the weird stuff this time around. If you've followed his work before, you'll know the 'weird stuff' is exactly what he's known for, so this is a bit of a pivot.
He's also the co-creator of the award-winning comedy collective CHUNKS, which they describe as 'a juvenile, two-fingered salute to conventional entertainment and social decorum'. That gives you a fair idea of the spirit he brings to his work, even when he's pulling back on the strangeness. Critics have called his material 'smart and biting' and 'inventive and unique', and the show is recommended to fans of Stewart Lee, so it's the kind of comedy that tends to be more about the construction and the delivery than just a string of punchlines.
