This was a good lecture, but I felt that something was missing.
There are some cool bits of
business, but the real lessons come from watching someone like Tom work an audience and you don't
really get to see that.
When I heard about the new way Penguin were doing these lectures
with the live performance followed by the lecture I assumed you'd get to see that full performance.
But you don't.
There are two moments where they cut to a section of the live performance.
These were the highlights for me.
Anyone expecting to see Tom's toilet paper trick will be
disappointed. Even though you get a glimpse of it in the trailer you don't get to see it, which is a
shame. I'd love to see Tom perform it. I know the routine is nearly 0. But to hint at it in the
trailer and then not even mention it was a bit off. Not Tom's fault. Totally Penguin.
If
the full show was made available I'd have given this more. But as I said, I feel that by not showing
it something was missing and so only 3 stars from me.
Knowing you don't get to see the full
show also puts me off looking at other lectures in the future.
Ok.
