Grow Up

Many film, TV and comedy performers get their grounding through the 'Footlights' banner this quartet have escaped this and are trying to 'Grow Up'.

The format for this show is still similar to those Footlights shows I have seen in the past, the use of back projections also demonstrate their roots. The sketches for me varied very much in quality there were several little gems mixed in with also-rans and sorry to say some utter c**p. The biggest disappointment was the finish, instead of going out on a high or at least a punchline it just sort of petered out as they went to sleep on stage.

These four obviously talented performers, in my opinion, need a little help with material and direction until they settle into something that suits their individual gifts and the collective mixture.
