I
was aware of Ruth the stand-up comedian, Ruth the Impro performer,
but this was the first time I had seen Ruth the comedy actor but
this was the artiste in residence for this show.
Ms
Bratt led us through a whole gambit of characters during this hour
starting a bus tour guide, a Russian cafe owner, the archetype
American bitch, the seedy male shop owner, a WI type cake baking
lady and finally Pete the Pirate. Each caricature is well observed,
written and performed and she made each believable within seconds.
Ruth
is certainly a very talented performer and with a show like this on
offer it would be a sin to miss it.
