Luke Chilton - Edinburgh Fringe Festival, ‘Netflix and Chilton" - Review

Luke Chilton's debut show at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, ‘Netflix and Chilton,’ offers a unique, immersive experience that intertwines heartfelt storytelling with sharp humour. Through a series of engaging anecdotes, Chilton reflects on his personal trauma, candidly discussing mental health and the complexities of sexual exploration. His wild gap year adventures become a backdrop for deeper insights, allowing audiences to laugh and empathise as he navigates the ups and downs of life. 

Chilton's show is a wild ride of humour and introspection. With his unique blend of absurd stories and wit, he tackles heavy topics with a fresh perspective. The authenticity of his story can resonate deeply with viewers. It's great to see a comedian cleverly revitalising common themes such as mental health, sexual exploration, and youth. 

Luke crafts each moment precisely, ensuring that no joke falls flat and every punchline lands perfect timing. This audacious show challenges boundaries, making it a memorable experience that will likely spark conversation long after the curtain falls. Overall, it’s a must-see for anyone looking to explore the more daring side of live performance at the festival.
