Audience Reviews

J B C's rating

Catch this before it is too late -I had to leave Edinburgh the day after seeing this otherwise I would have watched this show again! If you like satirical comedy, you'll love this show written and performed by new young talent. It takes a humorous and at times hilarious (judging by the audience reaction when I saw the show) look at a variety of taboos and often unspoken attitudes. Satire should be controversial because of the point it's making. All satire is subject to some interpretation, but these particular sketches also provide shock, challenge, amusement and entertainment. The varied and witty juxtaposition of accents together with well timed line delivery make this an engaging piece. The concept of the waste of life is examined in an intense, painful way as a thread throughout and culminates in a poignant ending.

Who should go see it.
Broad minded and intelligent adults looking to enjoy a good laugh and who can differentiate between well crafted and performed dark satire and more obvious comedy satire e.g Blackadder
