Chris Marlton’s Moonlight Pilot comedy special was a transformative experience.
Maybe this was in part due to the venue being a dimly lit room in an underground pub (being underground in the city always makes me feel odd). But it’s more likely due to Marlton’s intimate and sensitive performance.
Marlton gives us three characters. He goes through each alter ego one after the other, spending about 15 minutes with each.
The show is framed as a relationship advice seminar, with each of the three characters being a speaker. Marlton’s grounded and intuitive performance is overall uplifting and hopeful in tone, despite the acknowledgement that we live in a desperate and lonely world.
