The rumours are true. Audience members are shredding their own £10 notes every lunchtime at Òran Mór during Gary McNair's Crunch. If you have not yet been along, here’s a video interview with rehearsal footage to whet the appetite Is it a lecture? Is it a test? Is he really serious? Get along to Crunch this week to find out. And don’t forget, if you leave a review you could be in the chance of winning a bottle of Malt Whisky! Just visit the Critics' Circle section of the website for more details.

A winning performance from Gary McNair,his character, a cross between Rodney Trotter and Jonathon Ross easily seduced the OM regulars.
Having said that, I felt that some of his interaction with the audience was simply padding out a rather clever sketch.When it comes to the crunch I think ‘Crunch’ would benefit greatly from a minor rewrite.Nevertheless,its still well worth the admission money and if you are in luck Gary might even give you your money back.
