Keith Farnan: No Blacks. No Jews. No Dogs. No Irish. All Welcome

The title of Keith Farnan's show originates in a sign he once saw on the wall of his boss' office whilst working in the US. Farnan bases his material around this anecdote and uses it to examine prejudice around the world, and in particular the Irish experience. Farnan clearly knows his stuff and the show is often as much education as it is comedy, as he fills his routines with little-known facts and interesting information. There is much to like, particularly because Farnan himself is such an amiable personality and admits to battling with prejudices of his own, whilst his far-reaching travels provide some very funny and revealing stories about cultural difference and national prejudices.

Farnan has a lot of material to work with, and you wonder whether it might all work better if he slowed down and breathed for a second, such is the frantic nature of his delivery. There are jokes that could benefit from a more considered approach, and the set as a whole sometimes feels disorganised or thrown together, with Farnan trying to pursue too many ideas too quickly. It's not enough to put an audience off, but there's a feeling that the potential of the material isn't quite being matched by the execution.

Whatever the show's shortcomings, Farnan's charm and passion for his subject, as well as a brilliant home-made video containing Lego Nazis, make this an entertaining and interesting set that has plenty to say despite its well-worn theme.
