Tally Ho! Creepy Latrine Choirs
Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2001
A comic cabaret of sketches, song and verse starring former BBC poet and TV Bard Charlie Ottley and playwright Nick Perry. A sharp, cynical and downright disrespectful look at new improved Britain.

Original Review:
This dreadfuly-named show is something of a triumph of performance over content.
Charles Ottley and Nick Perry are a confident and talented duo, with a great flair for language, a love of performing and an obvious on-stage chemistry.
But the ground they covered simply failed to leap out and grab - the political satire smacked of The Two Johns (Fortune and Bird) and the songs, though very well sung, evoked nothing more than a smile
This by no means detracts from the pair's undoubted ability, but the comedy section of the fringe may not be the right place to ply their prose.

Ha! Considering there were only five people in the audience that day I think we did rather well!
