A man who defines his life by McDonald’s triple cheeseburger promotion is not a man to be trifled with – and that’s just what Greg Larsen leads his latest show, We All Have Bloody Thoughts with. Self-described as ‘deranged’ and ‘unhinged’, it would be easier to ask what topic Larsen’s show doesn’t cover, with the comedian borderline ranting the duration of the show. Not to say that ranting is an issue here – the man leans into this as his strength, which had the audience screaming with laughter the entire show.
We All Have Bloody Thoughts sees Greg reaching into the recesses of his mind, and sharing his weirdest, dark thoughts with the audience – most of which you can’t help but agree with. It’s a laugh from start to end, with plenty of talk about shit-kicker jobs, capitalism, and lockdown moments.
Bits about debt collectors and left-wing politics were some of the show’s strongest points, and saw Greg practically spitting out his words like a madman. Throw in a bout of history facts and viewpoints on babyccinos, and the show played out like a string of random thought processes and internal monologues – and we were completely there for it.
