The Trap

Description

The Trap are to Comedy what The Incredible Hulk was to tight trousers, Superman was to red underpants and Spiderman was to flies. With a double act consisting of 3 people they will be setting out to demolish the 'fourth wall' between themselves and their audience, stomp it underfoot and make it into a nice rockery with a water feature and possibly a pergola.

Comments

I went to see this, mostly due to its rave reviews from the likes of chortle, The Scotsman and The Guardian, and to say that I was unimpressed does little to capture my sentiments on the subject. I enjoy comedy a great deal and empathise with performers when it comes to standing in front of an intimidating crowd demanding to be amused and often consider how daunting it must be when offering criticism. How ever this "sketch show" was in parts so breathtakingly heinous I wanted to walk out. Take my advice, please do not waste 55 minutes of your life that would be better used dashing out your eyes and ear drums so that you'd never risk having to watch or hear their "material".
