Alex Maple is a strange fish, opening with some Jimmy Carr-style one-liners that are hit and miss, though do occasionally find a solid laugh. But then he moved on to a confusing and frustrating back-and-forth argument about religion – which occasionally slipped into Dr Seuss style verse, for no obvious reason – building up to a weak get-out line to end it. It’s possible Maple was trying something too ambitious for a short slot, but the result was rather baffling.
