Martin Davis in London Calling at Obz Cafe

Martin Davis skids and bounces across the stage, strung up and tugged around by unknown forces, firing off a relentless rapid-fire assault that hits every corner of the room and kills 100% of all known hecklers stone dead. Going where mere joke-tellers fear to tread with his characteristic kamikaze bravado ("Go on, heckle me") he walks the razor edge of audience participation, daring them to pick him off it. With enough nervous energy to power a small city, he is able to warm up the chilliest rooms and turn the stoniest punters into soft putty in his hands.
