Sharp, quick, splenetic, and sublimely improvisational. If you've never seen him, you need to hustle down to your local venue and grab a seat because he never disappoints. Ever.

And when the real Fiona turns up, not to mention Vyvian (a member of the local Sons of Satan Association, who wants to use Jo for his first human sacrifice) and Beverley and Vyvian's identical triplet policeman brother, the stage is well and truly set for a fast-moving madcap comedy of multiple mistaken identity.
