Sunday night's performance at the Battersea Arts Centre turned out to be a totally pointless event, in the best possible way... Jackson's Way. The final London show in a run of 26 consecutive nights saw Will Adamsdale displaying his hilarious life coach character Chris John Jackson in fine form.
Jackson's theory on life is this: why focus on the tiny amount of things that have a point, when there is such a vast array of pointless activities that are much more achievable. Through the comic medium of a seminar, or 'talkshopinar' as Jackson likes to call it, alongside some truly innovative audience participation, this theory is then stretched and contorted on stage to the point of complete, and hilarious, absurdity. Pointless perhaps, but worth every minute.
