Chris Addison - The Ape That Got Lucky, Forest Arts Centre, New Milton

IN a 90-minute act - which should have been cut into two more manageable 45s - comic Chris Addison delivered a stand-up routine, tenuously linked to a simplistic lecture on evolution.

The observations and anecdotes worked well.

However, perhaps because he was disconcerted by the inappropiate presence of children in the front row, his high-speed delivery occasionally lacked clarity.
