With the energy and enthusiasm of a Saturday morning kids TV presenter, Rob Broderick managed to charm the intimate crowd at the unlikely venue of West Street's Heist. By interacting with his audience, and with help from Duncan, his guitar wielding sidekick, Rob improvises rap songs based on his conversations with audience members, creating what he calls his very own Folkhopera'. His banter with the crowd added a personal touch, and with the mere mention of MySpace sending a group of teenage girls into fits of giggles, Rob certainly knew how to cater for his viewers. There were only a few of what could have been awkward moments where Rob appeared stuck for words, but even those were well played out with improvised jokes and animated chat. All together a pleasant show, combining music and comedy with talented ease.
