The group responsible for Skitzaphrantic - the name of which the reviewer did not mention - is: The Hix Roobinstein. Thank you

This show is exactly what the fringe is about - spontatneous, experimental, and just plain mental. Some great throwaway material in here, made all the more manic because the performers were enjoying hurling the frenetic, ramshackle, barrage of comedy at the audience. There is a sick, twisted genius at work here that really left me with no time to catch my breath. It could be said that a lot of it is 'you had to be there' kind of humour, so take my advice - be there.

Delighting and delving into the meaning of words, this comic trio play with words like the sunlight plays with the sea. Lightly, deeply, darkly, meanings flash and sparkle; leaving the audience tingling as they are swept along in a playful tide. Surreal yet warm, their Monty Python-like sketches range from political satire to the physical comedy. Definitely got my gigglesworth. Go, titter and hoot.

Noel James is one of those comedians' comedians, but saw him putting the 'bollock' into shambolic when he played with plastic dinosaurs and Mark Felgate - tiresome man - a couple of years ago at Edinburgh. This is different. With Steve Best he's created a genuinely inspired double act who rub one another up in the best possible way. Many, many puns - a small rictus may form after a while - but inspired.
