Eddie Ramone: ex-games show host, fading comic, cruise ship entertainer. Chris Sullivan's new play, The 2 Sides of Eddie Ramone; which previewed at the Edinburgh Festival last night; is a bitter sweet insight into the mind of a has-been comic. Chris, who plays Eddie in this solo performance, sensitively captures the ramblings and thoughts of Eddie as he battles with himself during one of his routine stand up performances. The show is cleverly edited where we first meet Eddie performing his tired, outdated jokes before he suddenly finds himself on autopilot, looking down at himself regurgitating the same old routine. The thought process that then follows leads the audience into a captivating dark story of the real Eddie. We are taken deep into the mind of this tragic character and his life, interjected with the false smile and jokes of the stand up performance. Brilliantly handled and emotionally performed, Chris shows just how superficial and lonely the life of a comedian can be and leaves us asking the question, who is the real Eddie Ramone?
