Adam of the Riches (Edinburgh Fringe)

Having previously received an onstage snog from Daniel-Day Lewis during Adam Riches' award-winning 2011 show, I thought lightning couldn't strike twice this year.

But as soon as I was ushered to sit on the front row, I knew I was in for it. And sure enough, little more than ten minutes later I was called on stage to strum Sean Bean's hair before killing a horse (don't ask).

Despite having said this year's show – his first since scooping the comedy award – is "less intense" than the last, Riches once again enlists members of the audience in every sketch (you have been warned); inviting a stranger to lather your chest in a shower is many things, but "less intense" it ain't.

So fans of his brand of anarchic playfulness shouldn't be disappointed, though the uninitiated may find themselves scratching their heads at some of the more surreal characters, which include an American tattoo artist with electric toothbrushes for hands and the return of Yakult-swilling alpha male Victor Legit.

Although it currently lacks polish – not every character hits the mark – Riches still provides laughs by the bucketload in one of the most inventive hours of interactive entertainment on the Fringe. But, as ever, beware the front row.

Adam of the Riches runs at the Pleasance Dome until 24 August
