Fear not if you have never heard of French comedian Guillaume Gallienne: he’s here to tell you all about himself. Me, Myself and Mum (expanded from a solo show) is his confected confessional, recounting our hero’s sexual education as a camp little boy who play-acts the girl for the benefit of maman (played with gusto by Gallienne in drag). The comedy is as broad as a beam and occasionally misjudged: Gallienne has no qualms about using reductive gender stereotypes to wage all-out war against reductive gender stereotypes. Still, there’s a sincerity to the clowning and a personal truth behind the burlesque. Half-hearted thanks for so much oversharing.
