Soho theatre, London These deftly sprung riffs on extended family and motherhood gain in power when mayhem offsets the tightly controlled setThe last time I saw Janine Harouni perform she was eight months pregnant and delivering a show about imminent parenthood. It may not surprise you to learn that her first show since is about actual parenthood, of a now 18-month-old boy, with help from her visiting Lebanese- and Irish-American parents. Childrearing may not take a village in This Is What You Waited For, but it takes an extended family – which prompts reflection from our host on how she was mothered, and what kind of mother she can be.Not for the first time with Harouni, I found the smoothness and control of her hour on that theme almost too neat. A proponent of “gentle parenting”, she practises gentle and measured comedy too. The jokes are very deftly sprung as we’re led through her experience of raising an uncommonly large baby boy, with detours via her relationships with her hus...

It was pretty chaotic. I had to calm them down,” said Pocognoli, who nonetheless insists on “intensity” and set the tone himself, physically grappling with his new players as he took part in the drills as the sun set on the club’s performance...
