Entertainment Now review of Audience Anonymous

audience anonymous.

Audience Anonymous: where the first step is admitting you have a problem, the second is to share it anonymously with Trevor on WhatsApp, and the third is to listen as he turns it all into a show.

The Traditions Of Audience Anonymous: We admitted we were powerless over what we found funny – that our lives had become ridiculous. We came to believe that a Power greater than ourselves could restore us to hilarity. Decided to turn our will and our lives over to the care of Trevor as we understood Him. Sought through Instagram and TikTok to improve our conscious contact with Trevor, praying only for knowledge of his gigs and merchandise. Having had a spiritual awakening as a result of Trevor’s shows, we tried to carry this message to other audiences.

Trevor tours worldwide with his unique events and workshops. Besides his one man shows he has written for film tv, radio and theatre.  His scripted comedy has been critically acclaimed, "superbly comic writing" The Sunday Times, as much as his unscripted ones, "a comedy masterclass” The Scotsman.

"If 1 hour of Trevor performing was not enough, 5 hours of workshop with him were definitely not enough. I got to hear what other people struggled with, their premises, their process of building jokes and their issues with finalizing them. The most valuable thing I have learned was not to try to be funny. To think of questions I can ask myself to further develop the storyline, such as differences or similarities of certain actions. How to leave unnecessary information behind to not create false expectations. How instead of cutting a story into 5 minutes to fit on stage, I should develop it into bits that ultimately aim at creating a 15-20 minutes routine. I will never forget how after one person did 3 minutes of jokes that didn’t work, Trevor took the stage to make the same bits into a 10-minute routine we could not stop laughing at. And I told myself I'd like to become like him, if this guy were to ever to come back to Tokyo again, and was willing to teach us his ways, or our own ways one more time, I would never miss it. The same way as no one should miss his workshops!”

Luana Matei, Amsterdam

"I learned how crucial it is to be a dwarf. Everyone wants to be a Snow White, but only finding and accepting your own dwarf allows you to be yourself on stage. And from there, everything comes naturally. I am definitely taking the workshop again - my dwarves absolutely need grooming and Trevor has the proper brush!”

Elin Davydova, Tokyo

 Nothing Is Written

Trevor Lock first went on the telly with Lee and Herring and on tour with Stewart Lee.  He starred in all three series of Channel 4’s British Comedy Award winning, BAFTA nominated Star Stories, wrote two plays for Radio 4 and once addressed the Oxford Union on the meaning of life.  True stories, one-liners, flights of fancy and plausible theories, all went into his stream of consciousness freestyle stand up.  The Scotsman once described him as ‘Funny, moving and clever.’  TimeOut, simply as ‘hilarious’ and culture website Spoonfed thought he could ‘probably win an award for the most laughs in a minute.’  The Sunday Times wrote of the ‘superbly comic writing’ of his plays on the Edinburgh Fringe. Then along came Trevor Lock’s Community Circle.  A two hour “social experiment” in which there are no jokes and no actual content and which seemingly doesn’t even begin.  In their respective 5 star reviews Community Circle has been described by The Daily Mirror as ‘The most fun you can have without taking your clothes off’ and in The Scotsman Kate Copstick wrote that it ‘blew me away … a masterclass in comedy performance’.

In addition to writing, directing, stand up and acting, Trevor sometimes speaks in schools and businesses on the mysteries of creativity and humour. Perhaps most notably, he followed in the footsteps of The Dalai Lama, Bill Clinton and Kermit the Frog in addressing the world famous Oxford Union on "the meaning of life", refuting Descarte's maxim 'Cogito ergo sum' by tipping a glass of water over his head. 

'Superbly comic writing.’
The Sunday Times

‘Hilarious.'
TimeOut

'Strangely charming and absolutely entertaining.'

'He has a totally unique wellspring of gags. In a different league really.’

'The Most fun you have without taking your clothes off!' The Mirror

'An absolute masterclass in ­comedy performance ... left me in awe... his manipulation of the audience is mesmerising... his ­ferociously fast wit which goes from nought to brilliant comeback in a nano-second ' The Scotsman
