Grace Campbell Is On heat – Pavillion Theatre, Glasgow

Reviewer: Gordon Kerr

Clearly, the title of this show was no misnomer. Grace emerged on to the stage and made it clear from the start what this performance was likely to be. She was instantly recognised by a cross section of the audience, mainly 30-somethings, with a few others, like myself, scattered around the auditorium.
She entertained for around 10 minutes at first, before bringing her support act, known only as Kim onto the stage to perform a short, set. She returned for 15 minutes or so to whet the audience’s appetite before leading in to an intermission.
The full one-hour set followed in a very particular niche style- quick, punchy, largely humorous, but could be construed as offensive by some. On listening to some comments from other audience members, this was clearly the case.
The main subjects thrown out at us included a fascination with Grace relying on the morning-after pill as an effective method of contraception, her behaviour towards her pharmacist, her promiscuity which would make Casanova blush and intimate details of her abortion procedures. Quite clearly, a range of topics designed to shock (which they did in no small measure!)
She described also her loving relationships with her dog Eddie.
Her main performance passed very quickly and she left a large section of the fan base wanting more, but certainly not for everyone.
