Naz Osmanoglu – Ottoman Without An Empire (Avalon Promotions)
By Joe Mountford-Smith | Published on Saturday 18 August 2012
His confidence is booming and his hat is massive, what more do you want? Naz Osmanoglu – one of the acclaimed WitTank trio – jokes about his Turkish roots, his father and a certificate he’s particularly proud of. The audience clearly love this guy – they’re laughing from start to finish, regardless of whether the jokes are cuttingly insightful or well delivered. Perhaps it’s his way of exaggerating words in a sinister tone of voice, which happens almost as often as he mentions that his dad is an angry man. A couple of great gags about what it’s like being a kid and the futility of the gym really got me going. If you like observational comedy, you’ll probably find him a Turkish delight.
Underbelly Bristo Square, 1-26 Aug, 8.00pm.
