Laurence Clark is in his spiritual home – the Edinburgh Festival – with his Unlimited commission show, Inspired, for the next few weeks, and he’s already picked up his first 4 star review:

Laurence Clark is governed by his infectious sense of humour, not his cerebral palsy. At this year’s Fringe, he invites us to re-conceptualise the term ‘inspirational’, arguing that “the less well off you are perceived to be, the less you have to achieve to be called inspirational”. During the course of his excellent set, he considers how we use this label too liberally, demonstrating his case by applying the word to everyone from Abu Hamza to Paralympians. His light-hearted and unrelentingly positive outlook helps to whisk the audience through an hour of clever material, in which Clark makes use of entertaining pictures, audio, video and devilish one-liners along the way. At the very least, this show is inspired.

He’s also been answering a series of questions for the Huffington Post – my favourite?

Kilt or trousers? Trousers every time. As a wheelchair use who’s sat down a lot, a kilt is never a good option.

If you are up at the festival this year, do pop along and catch his show. As he says…

“In Edinburgh, I will be mainly… persuading audiences how truly uninspiring I really am.”
