Description

Tom and Steve are just back from their holiday, which would have been rather dull, had it not been for the meeting of some rather weird characters who have agreed to take part in their new show. This will be an opportunity to meet some of their new friends as well as some uninvited guests:
Porto Stokes: a budding Portuguese singer with psychopathic tendencies, who works at Somerfields
Menya: a unique performance by Britain's only male Enya tribute band
Matthew and Tone: aspiring rural actor Matthew Roger Moore and best buddy Tone perform a moving tale based on their friendship with the A Team
Elvis Presley and his faithful dog Old Shep: Elvis is back and so is his manky dog
Philip Evans: a Boots photographic assistant who has pictures in his mind and a stream of consciousness coming out of his mouth (don't mention his arm)
Lewis & Morse: the class-system encapsulated in two men who don't have anything in common, or like each other
Musical highlights include: What's In The Bag and demo tapes from Steve's new band Wingnut.

Reviews

Original Review:


Oram and Meeten obviously amuse themselves, but the audience doesn't share the sensation

Comments

Oram and Meeten present an original show, full of wit and reference to childhood memories for anyone under 30. Pity no-one under 30 has a say in the comedy world, which means that these two may possibly go un-noticed as they don't churn out the usual drivel so prominent in this year's festival.

Ted Johnson, September 2001
