Garrett Millerick: Smile at Just the Tonic – The Tron

Breakthrough Act 2019 Award nominee Garrett Millerick is fed up with the pretenses of the modern world, aiming his criticism at everything from the fraudulent activity of the recycling industry to growing depression inflicted by miserablist, oversharing celebrities. His message of disconnecting yourself from our self-reflecting age, while a little unoriginal, is no less urgent…

Garrett Millerick brings his trademark grouchy comedy back to the Fringe after his 2018 smash-hit show Sunflower wowed audiences with its heartfelt ‘sad bit’. This year’s effort, Smile, promises to be just stories and jokes and, for the most part, is a decent hour of comedy. Millerick delivers his set with all the subtlety of a…

At the end of Garrett Millerick’s mind blowing set he leaves us with this thought: Long after this show, when you’re watching a panel show, or some other comic, you’re going to think of me and the sweaty hour we just spent in this basement and you’re going to smile. It may not be that…

A slew of facile ideas is precisely the point

Garrett Millerick was noticed at the Fringe last year with a terrific hour that was given surprising amounts of emotional substance by the way he worked his wife’s near-death experience into the narrative. This year, as the big-bearded, booming 36-year-old is quick to admit, it’s just funny stuff. Positive stuff: couldn’t we all use a…

Enjoyably misanthropic diatribes in the service of positivity

As he notes at the top of his hour, Garrett Millerick had one of 2019’s copper-bottomed Fringe hits. And happily, he didn’t require his wife almost dying again to inspire a follow-up. He just needed cynical pressure from the comedy industry, professional anxiety and countless aspects of modern life that truly tick him off. Suggesting…

Garrett Millerick:- Smile

Sunflower, the 2018 show by Garrett Millerick swiftly became a popular and critically acclaimed success, partly due to the sad bit, that being his wife and her near brush with death. But he has a problem this year, no potential tragedy or disasters in his personal life. What to do? Invent them said a top…

Garrett Millerick became one of the word-of-mouth hits of last year’s Fringe with a show that blasted through jaundiced suspicions surrounding the ‘sad bit’ when he told of his partner’s brush with death in the final third of a blistering show. But how does he top that without dancing with the spectre of tragedy? One…

Garrett Millerick certainly had some things to get off his chest, and instead of turning to twitter like a normal person he chose to let rip for an hour of painstakingly truthful comedy in the basement of The Tron. Smile was supposed to be a show about positivity in a world that is filled with…

Just prior to the 2018 Fringe, Garrett Millerick had a show locked and pretty much loaded. Full of jokes, it was designed purely to keep us grinning through the gritted teeth we all had a mouthful of due to Brexit, Trump et al. Then a family medical emergency forced him to swiftly rewrite that hour…

Garrett Millerick: SMiLE

Millerick opens with commentary on his previous show “Sunflower;” before plunging straight into humour surrounding his wife’s near-death trauma. Dark, but all in good jest! Millerick’s ‘SMiLE’ is a wonderful “FUCK YOU” to almost everything and everyone. From “morally bankrupt flesh sacks” to Millennials who seem to be angry about everything. ‘SMiLE’ shows the absurdity…
