House Of Windsor Show type: Edinburgh Fringe 2007
House Of Windsor

Just got back from seeing this show, it put me in mind of a public schoolboys' AS Level drama evening. The cast corpsed their way through sketch after gagless sketch. Although, on a positive note, at least there were three people enjoying it. The cast had obviously worked hard to develop a camp, middle-class, awkward character - sadly it was just the one character between the three of them. Fortunately this archetype cropped up in every sketch, be they Legoland workers or bears. The performers had all the range of a Daily Mail front page. Ironic really given the fact that they will be lucky to spend their days editing aforementioned tabloid. All in all, the theatrical and comedic equivalent of one big circle-jerk.

The camp one isn't very good at all (very smug) but the other two from last year's show The Future are good. I was looking forward to their show this year and don't understand why they brought in the new guy. He spends his time hogging the stage and mugging for an agent or deal. The other two are strong and interact well. If you like restrained comedy and understated sketches this could well be for you but isn't going to change your life.
