Nick Helm – This Means War

Following his intense Edinburgh Comedy Award-nominated hour last year, Nick Helm's even more ambitious in his new show. 'This Means War!' sees the chaotic comedian dressed in a too-tight Napoleon-esque suit, with full backing band, war-zone set and 50 quid's worth of faux-barbed wire (a nice detail, I should add). The 'Nick Helm' character stays much the same – aggressive, terrifying and emotionally unstable – and it follows a similar structure to his previous hours. But once again, Helm's come up with a high-octane, brilliantly silly hour with tons of big laughs throughout.
