Stephen Catling is finding life challenging after two heart breaking break ups, he is trying to rebuild his life and battered confidence. While trying to understand and work through his depression. The audience never finds out what caused the break ups all we know is that Catling is hurt and angry.

As the title suggests, Catling is doing things slowly. He has likened his pace to the snail and slug. If you want to learn more about these creatures, Catling is a wealth of knowledge about their behaviour and habits. He has certainly done his research for the show.

Catling isn’t a groundbreaking comedian. He captures some comedy moments. However, he tries hard and has created an interesting selection of puppets. Seeing is definitely believing, and i can’t begin to describe one of them without sounding like i have been taking illegal substances.

There are some small role-playing games and audience interaction throughout the performance, although nothing embarrassing or uncomfortable. Catling is likable and highly intelligent.
