The Normal Formal
Trans-dimensional traveller and acclaimed song parodist Normal Al Yankovic (Alexander Richmond) hosts the Fringe's most normal comedy night. As far as Normal Al knows the guests are 100% NORMAL, as ORDINARY as possible, a REGULAR crowd of GENERIC talents. They will be arriving on stage to deliver the most crowd-pleasing, relatable and tepid comedy that Adelaide has ever seen.
Little does Normal Al know that the forces of absurdity are working against him, for no matter how hard he tries every performance, the guests that arrive are, in fact, some of the world's top alternative comedians.

“Lightly interactive, Richmond has a knack for unthreatening participation”. - Fest Mag.
“Richmond's performance also shines. He conjures a breathless, hesitant manner for Snake Boy which, coupled with his weird, otherworldly intonation, he employs to add heightened hilarity to his punchlines and score hearty laughs for throwaway comments”. - Great Scott
