Sister Mary McArthur : Celebrity Nun      

Tim McArthur appears as the singing nun. Sister Mary McArthur. He is a good singer and performs a miscellaneous collection of songs including the Beatles ‘Let it be’ and Abba’s ‘Mamma Mia’, ably accompanied by Brother Matthew (James Adler). However, it is hard not to disbelieve he is still a man dressed up in a nun’s habit.

It is a measure of a kind of residual respect for those in religious gear that he does get the audience all to stand up at times even to do a group sing a long, with actions, of ‘Doh, Ray, Me’.

The comedy links he does with Brother Michael don’t really work for me – the jokes tend to fall flat.

Entertaining but not attention grabbing and should really be in the music section.
