John and Kevin's One Man Show

Note: This review is from 2001

Review by Steve Bennett

Although these clearly talented actors have written a couple of good scenes - namely the opening sketch and Graham's Board Game - they seem all too willing to wing it, which proves very frustrating.

An audience already distracted by a box of chocolates being passed round (the reward from an earlier game of paper, scissors, stone) are also subjected to endless references to their sponsors and other acts at the fringe.

It all gives the impression that they were not taking the show all that seriously.

And while that's all well and good for a front-room parlour game, it certainly doesn't bode well for being taken seriously as grown up comedy.
