 Clare Plested and Adam Brown
are the intrepid duo who have been delivering excellent comedy shows
over a number of years and having discovered them a year or two ago
there is no chance of any of our review team getting the review
ticket IT’S MINE!!!!
This years offering sees Brown
playing Michael, a Health and Safety geek who won’t do anything
without a risk assessment and Ms Plested his fiancée, a
disillusioned geography teacher who decides to leave him and move to
New Zealand.
Michael is sent to a H&S
conference on the island of Zambucca and that is where this comic
mayhem really kicks off.
Both Plested and Brown are
versatile comedy actors, who can extract humour for any situations,
and can ad lib their way our of any anything should something go
wrong. As usual, as in previous productions, Amanda Wilshire somehow
manages to direct this part farce, part slapstick part ……almost
any comic genre you can name, as well as combining with these two
superb comedy actors in writing the piece.
I’ve intentionally left the
set to last. I thought previous shows sets had been elaborate and
inventive, but you truly haven’t lived until you have seen the
design and application of this one. It is worth the admission money
alone.
Please take this reviewer’s
advice kill to get a ticket. It is way, way the best thing I have
seen on the Fringe so far!!
