Ed Smyth's stand up performance is not your typical set of bits, stories, and the usual topics of family life, politics, and internet dating. Instead, he moves swiftly along in a string of silly, brain-twisty topics that blend nuggets of science, history, made up songs, physics, movies, sock puppets, and...sea chanties? It's Wally, the Happy Talking Neutrino. Then it's a prehistoric recreation of "Dawn of Stand Up Comedy". Maybe followed next by a Flat Earth Society Community Theater presentation of what really happened to Christopher Columbus. Followed perhaps next by a visit by the village chief from the original 1933 "King Kong" who wants to do crowd work. If you ever were (or still are) a Monty Python or Emo Phillips fan, Ed fits the spot.
