Sarah Campbell introduces herself to the audience as a worrier: little things like whether she's locked the front door, right down to the collapse of civilisation. Then she heads into the audience to find the most worried person out there. She selects one girl in the middle rows as the back row are too cool and the front are clearly overconfident.

Her anecdotes are entertaining and keep the crowd amused. While the ongoing narrative could be more polished, Campbell has some excellent one liners. One in particular is that Facebook should adopt the tagline "choke on my happiness". There is a child in the front row that makes Campbell a little uncomfortable and she hands him ear defenders for some of her more inappropriate material.

The message behind Campbell's comedy performance is that civilisation can and will collapse. It sounds a bit bleak but she makes it sound more exciting than I do. With some brilliant one-liners Sarah Campbell is definitely a comedian worthy of your time.

Don't Worry It's Sarah Campbell is part of the free Fringe at Cabaret Voltaire until August 23rd.
