They say: “Sketch comedy for the people, by the people, and in front of the people.”
Dan’s take: This was a lively and entertaining pitch, cleverly constructed, smooth orchestration between sketches thanks to a zippy Kinks soundtrack (and some glorious snippet around “take me to a gay bar”; was that the peaches on the beaches fellas?) and humourous lip-synching. I thought we would be in for more awkward–we were served up slightly more wholesome than off-beat in the final reckoning and my sense was that the audience had the appetite for more on the offside. After a first night uncertain start, the pace picked up and we were treated to a plate of nutritous fringe originality. Skits varied in quality, but the show never lost momentum and a whole package of passion was pumped into 45 mins.
See it if: You still get pissed off when someone yakking on a cell phone interrupts your snooze on the bus.
Skip it if: You’re only there for the spandex and pole dance.

Energetic performance, good use of props, innovative lip synching (good choice of music), all and all not a bad way to spend 45 minutes. Remember IT’S A METAPHOR.
