Edinburgh comedy notebook: standup for kids is not actually child's play

What

with boos, no inconsistencies and eschatological joy, a room full of excited children are more like a group of drunken adults

In recent years, the children's section of the band program was driven by a steady increase in the number of comedy shows for children. Sampling of some of these this week with my nine-year-old son, I still wonder why no one had thought before standup children. There is very little difference, as far as I can see, between facing an audience of excited children and a host of drinking the night screaming quite incomprehensible without inconsistencies, both get agitated and aggressive when they are potentially the center of attention, and both are easily satisfied by the material most obvious. As a comic gags to a crowd Saturday night Jongleurs Bachelor depend largely on order, all the interpreters who work with children comes with a full arsenal of jokes, shit, that almost a Pavlovian reducing small giggles.

• James Campbell launched the idea of ??standup for children, and is still very impressive to see the attention of a crowd of five to 10 years for an hour with nothing but a microphone. He played in the usual "what's your name, where are you" sketch with the couple in front of rows and riff on their answers seem like any good comic club. "It's really what you're going?" My son whispered in fear. "No - in fact, is more or less done these things in exactly the same since I was a zygote," I was tempted to answer, but do not want to destroy the magic. Campbell has a knack for attracting children, acting as a child of adult size itself, but I would like to see some new jokes write soon. I guess as long as the children laugh at the fact that the Nintendo Wii sounds like "wee", which has little interest.
• Comedy Club 4 children Bongo Club was a highlight for children in Gaza in recent years, giving them a sample of some of the biggest names in comedy at the periphery, with the pleasure , noisy feel of a comedy club. Queues earlier included Stewart Lee, Jason Byrne, David O'Doherty and Adam Hills, and it is always interesting to see how the comics adapt their equipment for children, and see who can make you laugh without falling into the Bathroom jokes. (Some seem completely lost when they realize they can not swear to provocateurs.)

This week we enjoyed Mark Thomas be the version for children has proved successful people, where children in the audience suggests policies that make their world a better place and then voted for the winner. "No school, no rules" were the most popular choices, but my favorite is particularly "all buildings should be based on bananas." A child had written: "I should rule the world and all the money. " "It's always good to keep the Tories," joked Thomas, and some of the children laughed, showing that you are never too young for a little satire.
