Original Review:

Show Rating:Tally Ho! Creepy Latrine Choirs rated 2/5

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.

A thirtysomething lyrical charmer/Raconteur, satirist, thesp and/Part-time rent-a-poet-laureate/ There's none can equal your flair and zest.

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