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.
