Louis Prandolini - Lowkey
Louis Prandolini is sick of living large, and he wants to tell us about it. Armed with a powerpoint and a knack for observational comedy, Louis reflects on being a comedian as a teenager and the impact that’s had on him over the past few years. Along the way, we get anecdotes about his years at film school, acting school, and now a screenwriting course.
It’s all tied together by an earnest delivery (I could even describe the style as low key...) that helps every joke land. There’s also strong proof of why the rule of three's is so important in comedy.
This is my first time seeing Louis, but he explained to us that past shows at the festival have had a broader gimmick, which he has chosen to pare back for 2026. The structure is loose in a way that works well for the show; mostly, it’s a framework for 50 minutes of solid bits, adding up to a wonderfully silly final pun. (Puns will always be funny.)
