Master of spontaneity

As with last year's predecessor All Of Me, Stephen K Amos's More Of Me purports to be an in-depth delve into the stand-up's character and past.

But compared to the uncompromising self-exorcism offered by the likes of Jim Jeffries and Brendon Burns, it's actually rather coy. Indeed, while All Of Me's focus was Amos discussing his sexuality at length for the first time, More Of Me's revelations seem to more or less be a collection of odds'n'sods left over from last year - there's a bit of stuff about his parents, a few things about school, but nothing too earth-shaking.

But this is Stephen K Amos and the script really isn't the point, since watching him work a crowd is to watch a master at work.

At one point, he has a good-natured grumble about his lack of TV success; perhaps that's not a surprise given his forte is spontaneity, rather than scripting. He shouldn't worry too much about telly: More Of Me is in a bigger venue than All Of Me; a couple more years and there'll barely be a room in Edinburgh that can hold him.

Until Aug 27, Pleasance Courtyard, 9.40pm, £11 to £13.50.
