August 20, 2025  The Real Chris Sparkle | | | You can take the man out of philosophy but can you take philosophy out of the man? I dunno, I’m not a philosopher. But Alex Farrow is, and his New Order: Sex, Power and the Philosopher’s Hoover is an entertaining look at what concerns him as he reaches his early 30s (ahem), such as making enough money to get by, discovering how to dress like an Italian Daddy (oops, I think I do), and what he rather alarmingly has in common with Vladimir Putin. He’s also become entranced with DIY, an interest designed to help one’s mental health that will probably injure it, and he has a unique need to feature a broken vacuum cleaner in his show. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know your Heidegger from your Hi-de-Hi, Alex Farrow cuts an extremely engaging persona on stage, and his show is an intriguing and intelligent potpourri of comical ideas and observations, delivered with authority and charisma; and it’s also extremely funny! 4 stars.
