Alex Cameron bewilders and delights in equal measure at End of the Road
Aussie songwriter Alex Cameron crooned, gyrated, and awkwardly bantered through perhaps the oddest, most strangely compelling set of this year's End of the Road.
Gesturing at the mudbath outside the Big Top, he announces "I've got bad news - we're about to get real wet in here too", before launching into songs about failed internet relationships and mummy issues whilst adopting dance moves that make Samuel T. Herring look restrained.
With his kangaroo-loathing sax man/"business partner" Roy Molloy bolstering the mid-'80s vibes, audience reactions veer between amused bewilderment and genuine antipathy, with only a few seeming to realise that the self-depreciating sad sack persona is an act of Cameron's devising. Eccentric, bizarre, divisive - and genius.
