The review posted about this show is possibly the most innaccurate and frankly ignorant piece of pseudo-criticism I have seen of any on the Edinburgh fringe so far, and if you've been reading The Skinny you'll know how serious a statement that is! I feel there would be no point in my writing a specific counter argument, as the aforementioned "review" is little but a rhetorical berating from a person frustrated that they didn't understand a sophisticated piece of theatre. If one has to "read the blurb" to pick out the most basic of metaphorical themes, they should not call themself a critic. In this light, is it any wonder this person didn't get any of the jokes? My advice to all who read this is to go and see this show, just to find out how wrong one person's opinion can be, and you'll be rewarded with an extremely enjoyable, funny and provocative hour.

I have just read Rosie Carnahan's review of Viv & Fizz and I find it hard to believe she went to the same show. I saw them on Saturday at the Gilded Ballon and it was a really enjoyable, well thought out show, this wasnt just my opinion, the crowd was engaged throughout and really got the historical references that Ms Carnahan failed to understand (really not rocket science). I have been going to 5 shows a day now for a week (exhausting stuff) and Viv and Fizz stands up with the best of them.
