Part stand-up, part sketch, part theatre and all funny, Good Morning! lays out the musings of a man confronting his own shortcomings in the comedic attempt to see the world in a better light, as long as it isn’t morning light.
Xavier possesses that elusive quality that most local comedians you will see at MICF sadly lack, he is able to connect with the audience. This is a truly priceless blessing that no doubt he has worked very hard to achieve. This elevates his performance and material, which at times is under-written and frankly contains one too many commercial parodies, to a level that has members of the audience bellowing with laughter.
His acting chops are spot on, flitting between characters and sketches with little effort and zero confusion for the audience, his vocal and facial work is terrific and he pulls one of best Kryton faces this side of Red Dwarf. A great show in a lovely little room, Xavier is the goods, get in and see him before he is ruined by some TV gig and is appearing on Before The Game.
