Clarkson’s Farm star Kaleb Cooper sprinkles some farming magic on the big city with new show
IF someone had said I'd enjoy a two and a bit hour show on farming, I'd have laughed them out of the theatre.
But that is exactly what happened when I spent the night watching The World According To Kaleb.
It's no surprise the young farmer is a natural on stage, given he has been mentored by Jeremy Clarkson.
Within seconds, it's very clear this isn't an average one-man show, in fact, he wants you to get involved even if it involves heckling him.
Kaleb Cooper, 25, starts the show with a quiz to see what farming materials you can recognise.
Do you know your straw from your hay? By the end of the show, you will.

He gives a whistle-stop tour through his journey from ordinary teenager into farming whizz.
The Clarkson's Farm star also shares why he hates sheep and what the former Top Gear's flock has to answer to.
Plus, clips of the past two series of the Amazon Prime series appear throughout the night - just in case you've forgotten his best bits.
While he may have a fear of London, that hasn't stopped him bringing his tour into the big city.

And he's certainly happy to try to educate us urban folk about what really goes on in the fields and sheds.
Hits out at those in power
While most celebrities shy away from controversial topics, Kaleb takes them head on.
From how farmers are loosing out on the price of milk, to fair pay for all farmers and why the weather is ruining Kaleb and his colleagues' hair, everything is covered off.
The farmer calls for ordinary folk to understand that we need to pay more for our basic groceries, like milk.
He also calls for the agricultural and livestock workers to band together and strike - but only if they can agree what the cause is for.
And Kaleb isn't afraid to hit out at those in power with names I won't repeat. It's truly refreshing.
Kaleb is sensational at holding attention. It's just a shame that the screen behind him got out of sync.
It took away a little from the magic, and given how vital it was to the show it really should have been smooth transitions.
Overall, it's a great show and if it was too polished, it would make me question if Kaleb really was a farmer.
