Review
It's the type of time-sapping spam every inbox endures: the plea from
the relatives of some recently dead Nigerian bigwig, wanting to
smuggle millions out of the country with your help, and promising you
a sizeable commission in return

No one would ever reply to such an obvious con, with the very real
risk of having a bank account drained, would they? Well actor and
comic Dean Cameron did. But only to take the piss.

Adopted the guise of a camp, lonely old millionaire living in Florida
with a Filipino houseboy his two cats, Mr Snickers and Joe Joe The
Dancing Clown, Cameron stretched out the communication over 11 months,
always dangling the promise of money, but parting with no more than $4
to an increasingly frustrated scammer.

The result was a diverting website (www.spamscamscam.com) now made
into this hour-long show. And for something comprising little more
than the verbatim exchange of emails, the live version is surprisingly
entertaining, too.

It's Cameron's alter-ego that takes the credit, gradually becoming
more stupidly unpredictable as the correspondence continues,
increasingly revealing bizarre little details of his life, from his
spastic colon to the chintzy décor he favours. The breathless missives
impishly tease with deliberately silly misspellings and creative stabs
at the Nigerians' names ­ indeed, he seems to think they are Mexican
most the time.

He leads the crooks a merry little dance, professing his love for the
widow, getting a pal to call from the agreed meeting place in
Amsterdam and ­ a brilliant wheeze this ­ playing them off against
another conman who spammed him. Their unsubtle response is hilarious.

The Nigerians act as the perfect straight men to Cameron, sleazy
international crime gangs not being known for their sense of humour.
Occasionally the correspondence comes out of hyperspace, and the mix
of bewilderment and frustration in the phone calls as they try to
extract their money from a man more obsessed with his feline
companions is a delight. That this whole prank serves as a comeuppance
of sorts is a bonus.

Cameron's a slick performer, as is his supporting actor Victor Isaac,
but even they cannot overcome the show's only real problem: that even
at a little over 50 minutes, it feels too long. The practical joke may
be excellent, but it is just the one joke, not quite enough to sustain
the duration, despite the best efforts to jazz it up.

Nonetheless, it's an engaging, witty tale, offering something a little
different from the norm.
