My overall impression

This review is specific to Mark Allen’s GO SLOW: When British stand-up comic Mark Allen became more annoyed than disturbed at a suicide that hindered his daily commute, he decided to go off the grid and take things slow for a month. His hilarious tale of modern in-conveniences and tortoise-seeking shenanigans is full of witty gems (“When I post on Twitter and Facebook, my friends have my thoughts twice as much as I do”) and honest revelations (“I’d become an asshole”). Affable and sweetly self-depricating, Allen checks in with the audience when the British humor doesn’t seem to land and ultimately proves that taking life slowly can be a challenging (and laughable) act of rebellion.
