ELECTRICITY: THE CAGED PONY
Press Reviews
TRAPPED - MOOR, MADNESS AND PONIES
The
show, a dangerous blend of logic and possible
madness, is a worthy follow up to his success
at last year's festival. Moor has a strong
physical stage presence.
Adrian Dawson, The Stage, 11th August 1994
With
his gangly windmill limbs, pop-up ears and
elastic jawbone, Ben Moor has been blessed
with the perfect body for comedy.
Sometimes his physical presence is so startling,
you forget to listen to what he says. If you
like your comedy manic, breakneck and
crammed with puns and historical illusions,
this could be for you.
Clair Smith, The Scotsman
LUNATIC FRINGE
Recommended
are the 30 character in Electricity: The
Caged Pony. All of them are Ben Moor, a
remarkable human being who looks like a
human bendy toy who has been struck several
hundred times with a pick axe. To hear him
talk about... the man who tap danced so fast
his feet went into hyper-space is to
experience comedy satori.
Ian Black, Sunday Times, 14th August 1994
Somewhere
it is written that people with bodies that make
you weep with laughter will not be
blessed with equally hilarious minds. But Ben
Moor... gives this the lie. His material
is so brilliant, line after line
tripping out with blinding speed - sometimes a
bit too fast, possibly - that us normals
can only open our minds and mouths in awe. Ben
Moor, if not a comedy king, is a clown and
crown prince.
