Sometimes the audience can tell you a lot about a show. Here we had a full house, ninety per cent female and an all-girl front row, for a sketch show starring four twenty-something lads. And, girls, I’d advise you to get there early if you want to see them in their sexy undies (or pants if you’re British).
Well, enough of the hot young comics who are obviously going to have a great time in Edinburgh (jealous, yes), they are also rather good at the comedy stuff. The show consists of a series of sketches, some of which are very subtly linked with a over arching theme of the end of the world. Some of the scenes were a little cliched and there were one or two that didn’t really find the funny but most of the stuff was well written and acted, and there is a lot of very original comic material here.
I did wonder whether they got the rubber dolls as a job lot, but that’s just idle speculation. If you want to see a bunch of sexy young men cavorting about on stage in funny sketches, this is the show for you.
