Jimmy Finger, your favourite rockabilly boganite, is on a journey and self-realisation is firmly in his long-fingered grasp. Third base is naturally his signature move, and the fingering jokes come thick and fast (tish boom) in this hour of weird and wonderful character comedy.
There’s lots to enjoy, particularly the puns and world-building. Of course, Jimmy’s sister is called Fanny, and naturally she marries into the family next door, the Fisters. Flanges are broken, stuff’s hard to grasp and Jimmy’s got a finger in every pie. All delightful nonsense. What’s less successful is some of the physical comedy and crowd-work in a half-empty room that’s not quite sure what they’re watching. Rather than continuing to mine an empty seam, perhaps performer Zo Star needed to move on rather than pushing for suggestions that were never going to be forthcoming. All in, it makes for an uneven hour, but everybody loves a bad boy made good: there’s definitely length and breadth in Jimmy Finger which bodes well for his future.
