F**k This Show (You Know You Want To )

Nicole Korkolis and Becky Donohue are a couple of ballsy broads form New York and have teamed up to strut their stuff late night in the Fringe this year. Having seen Ms Korkolis at last years Fringe and thoroughly enjoyed her show I was anticipating another good performance.

Becky Donohue however was new to new and she opened the show on the night I attended. She says she is a storytelling comedian and as such launched into her routine with a couple of local stories before getting into the more personal stuff about her and her family. She tells an almost unbelievable story relating to her grandmother, but even if it didn’t occur that way she told it well.

Nicole took to the stage after about thirty minutes and started of brightly, making a series of comic observations about the Royal Mile this time of the year, the cost of being in  Edinburgh, a Highland tour they took and the lack of a man in her life at the present, but she tailed off towards the end as it looked like she struggling for material..

I understand this has not been a great run numbers wise for the girls and I’m afraid they came over a little disillusioned with the whole affair. Pitty, I’m sure they could do far better.
