Review by Steve Bennett

The slick duo of Dyball and Kerr prove themselves solid proponents of the tricky sketch comedy genre with this breezy and funny collection that's much better than the appalling title suggests.

They open with an inventive schtick about how the show will unfold, a witty and oblique take on the presentation culture that prevails in any company where an uninspiring middle manager has found their computer's pie chart function.

And although this is probably the best sketch of the lot, it's by no means downhill all the way, for this talented pair repeatedly hit the spot with similarly well-observed pieces, creating an array of distinctive and amusing characters and neatly avoiding the obvious gags

It's quite old-fashioned in many respects, and the likeable performers happily admit they won't be doing any 'trendy surrealist bollocks', yet their well-executed routines always get to the heart of modern trends.

And while the show probably won't have you rocking in your chair, it is vibrant, funny and well-performed - a surprisingly rare combination.
