Brian Aylward does a stand-up show, 39, at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia as part of the Atlantic Fringe Festival that proves that comedy doesn’t always have to set up the wittiest punch line or attempt to shock or offend its audience for kicks; sometimes a series of bizarre stories well told are even more entertaining.
Self-effacing and confessional Aylward takes us from his getting fired from a job at a gas station to teaching kindergarteners in South Korea and embarking on drug-infused adventures throughout Southeast Asia. I was genuinely hooked into his stories and continually surprised by their odd twists.
If you are interested in stand-up comedy in Halifax I would suggest checking out this show, Aylward is certainly likeable with a warm rapport with audience members, which is somewhat rare for stand-up, and I expect to hear more about him on the scene in the future.
