Chris Thorburn's "Cineman" is a delightful experience for any movie enthusiast. Thorburn infuses the show with vibrant energy through a mix of engaging musical numbers and sharp stand-up comedy. It's an entertaining and lively performance that keeps the audience thoroughly entertained. However, be mindful that the venue can get quite warm.

I love movies so this seemed ideal for me.

Saw the show on a very warm Sunday but in spite of the room being extremely warm, the show landed well. A couple of moments where I thought the "bit" ran for too long, but I understand that's the point and it may land better with others. Overall, entertaining for cinema goers!
