New kid on the block Dominic Cross is a relatively mainstream act, wielding his guitar he bashed out a couple of mediocre musical one-liners, before moving into material about chat-up lines, which start genial but move into darker territory, but always told with a smile.

He has an assured stage manner, while the funnies often lie in the asides, rather than the main thrust of the material. The song about Dear Dierdre, however, seems to lose its comic intent, and appears gratuitously ill-intentioned.
