Original Review:

Show Rating:

What I know about rap is less than negligible, but I can recognise a damn good time when it’s on offer. This is musical comedy/cabaret for the 21st century.

Their singing is stunning, the rapping is crisp and they are powerful, sexy movers with a great sense of physical comedy. You’ve got to love them, celebrating the size 18 woman and the joy of a large arse, among other things.

Rashida , particularly ,has a compelling street-regal presence and Busty Beats has an absolutely pissed-off rapper face that would be alarming if she wasn’t so funny.

The comedy is all there in the music, there’s very little straight talking, but I guess that like complaining about too much singing at the opera. If I don’t comment on the rapping styles, it’s my ignoranc, but everyone else was highly appreciative and snorting with laughter the terms of reference.

Even with a small audience, this felt like you were at the best party. The show has great momentum and infectious energy, a real shot in the arm in a busy fringe schedule.
