Forget Mariah Carey, forget J-Lo – Wes Snelling is the new modern day diva. He has the walk, the look and, most importantly, the attitude. Of course, one would hope that it’s all played up for laughs on stage, especially considering his poor, ever suffering assistant Steven Weir who bares the brunt of most of Snelling’s bile and self inflated ego. But that’s what this show is all about: watching Wes strut and sing in an attempt to record a live version of his soon-to-be hit single, with Steven accompanying him on guitar.

The show included a couple of songs that showcased Snelling’s singing talent and proved that he really could belt out a tune, but most of the set comprised of Wes and Steven trying to work out the best way to play their ‘hit single’. Should it be funky? More Sinatra-esque? Or a little Robbie Williams? This is where the comedy comes in. The interplay between the two musicians was fantastic to watch, as Steven was forced to stop playing over and over again to incorporate every whim that entered Snelling’s head, no matter how ridiculous. The two have great chemistry on stage, and that’s a good thing; for without, it this show wouldn’t work.

I strongly recommend this show to anyone after an inventive concept and a lot of good laughs.
