‘A must see comedy at the Fringe’
‘The Same Only Different’ is a show you won’t forget in a hurry. Performed by Kenny Sinclair, who has a flair for comedy and manages to get every member of the audience laughing within minutes, ‘The Same Only Different’ explores differences in generations of Scots, and universal themes that pertain to everyone.
There is something for every audience member: cheeky jokes, nostalgic reminiscence, tongue-in-cheek charm. Sinclair delights and entertains in equal parts, a true comedian who never falls short in enthusiasm. Things haven’t changed so much, he reckons — and yet at the same time, everything is entirely different. This oxymoron provides ample opportunity for jokes and poking fun at every generation, from boomers to zoomers, and their idiosyncratic ways of living.
At the heart of Sinclair’s show is an earnest reminder that while at times we may feel out of our depth, humanity doesn’t change much. We will always remember each other and have ridiculous stories to share — and we will always find a way to laugh at ourselves. Kenny Sinclair captures the spirit of every generation in his fifty-five minute comedy show with just the right amount of audience interaction and clever scripting. From Naked Attraction to tales you’ll remember being told by your granny (or, depending on your age, you’ll remember first-hand!), the show is a quintessential Fringe comedy that you don’t want to miss.
(The Same Only Different is an Edinburgh Fringe show, performed between the 15th and 25th of August. Tickets are available here: https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/the-same-only-different.)
