1 Small Lie: Martin Dockery

Martin Dockery is one of the few storytellers at the fringe that I think is really good. Super tight storytelling, especially this time on one long 59-minute track of music and sound effects that relies on perfect timing. Didn't expect this one to take a horror turn, but it was pretty good. Not my favourite of his shows, but even his worst is still better than 75% of one-man storytelling shows tbh.

I will say that controlling smart bulbs via phone loses a bit of the magic. I’d rather he had a tech control it so it doesn’t break the immersion.
