Matt Lane and Danny Giles are overthinking it. Discussing anything from the powerful feeling of being the resident spider-killer to the pressure of keeping up the appearance of being a “man’s man”; this Sydney duo keep the audience entertained until the very end.

Overthinking It, funnily enough, is a show about those kind of situations that get you thinking; the little every day things that just end up on your mind. They mention the need to escape using social media as an excuse not to think. A lot of the act is semi-autobiographical and, like most successful performances, it offers a view into both the comedians’ leapfrogging mindsets.

On the night of the show, there was only a small crowd present. Instead of deterring the performers however, this acted as a stimulant, encouraging them to get to know their audience so that their performance could be tailored just for them. As a result, the audience appeared more engaged and felt free to contribute to the show, regularly bickering with the pair.

The stand-up duo from Sydney were very polite onstage. Both Matt Lane and Danny Giles were very friendly and open with the crowd, explaining a bit about themselves and their lives outside of their comedy shows before beginning. Each comedian had their own set consisting of a number of stories and situations where they had been guilty of overthinking it, as we all do.

If you’re familiar with overthinking anything, this is probably an act that you will enjoy, or at the very least, relate to. Come along and hear about how Danny’s parents convinced him to move out of home, and about Matt’s willingness to help out a nerdy schoolboy. Even if you’re a recluse looking for someone to congratulate you for leaving the house, these guys will certainly cater to you!
