Comic Abuse

This is an interesting bit of comedy, part sketch show, part stand-up and is well presented by the three young performers.

A series of sketches get things underway and these are well written, but just occasionally, for me anyway, go on slightly too long. Old Lady buying a Computer set the tone, ineffectual suicide bombers, middleclass street talk and even attempting to 'Street Cred@ David Cameron were just a few examples of the skits that were performed.

The predominately football based stand up was okay as well, I just wondered if this was put in due to a material shortage, or if it was originally built in.

Still, a pleasant enough way to spend an hour towards the end of the day.
