Reviews
Jim Judges assumes the role of Ian Crawford, a cutlery-based health and safety trainer from the Steel & Cutlery Manufacturers Association. He explains the dangers lurking in our kitchen drawers using powerpoint
slides with dodgy animnations, clipart, badly photoshopped images and dubious statistics, and graphic stories about cutlery-related accidents. He advises on safe use of cutlery via demonstrations and memorable slogans, e.g.: "Think once, think twice, think spoon, think fork, think knife." Disturbingly close to real-life training sessions, the only thing missing is print-outs of the slides with space for notes, though there is a certificate at the end, which follows a less-than-taxing "exam".
Jim's deadpan delivery and mild innuendo make this gently satirical show the antidote to health-and-safety training
sessions and public information films. The sell-out audience loved it.
Trigger warning: this show contains (badly photoshopped) graphic images of cutlery-related accidents.
