Edinburgh Unfringed

Note: This review is from 2001

Review by Steve Bennett

This sketch show about the trials and tribulations of women in various everyday situations was nothing more than a collection of obvious gags based around uninspiring material.

The two performers - Footlights member Pippa Van Welie and pre-drama school student Christine Morris - failed to energise from the outset.

Interminable costume changes also derailed the pace, though we were 'treated' to a voiced-over slide show of the duo in colourful wigs during those gaps. My, how they flew by.

Fortunately for the performers, the audience was as forgiving as possible - and sat in a frosty silence.
