The Grandees review
-
After two successful comedy playlets The Grandees – down from three members to a double-act – return to Edinburgh this year with a sketch show, and it's their best hour yet – bizarre, ridiculous, not a lot of it makes much sense, but a whole heap of fun. The audience is invited to delve deep in the ‘Book of Pricks’, encountering along the way a perverted pig, a pair of bears that do not like dancing and a wonderfully camp oak-obsessed Sherlock Holmes, amongst others. Both incredibly talented performers, Marny Godden and Tom Turner have no need to rely on extensive props or extravagant costumes; they allow their relaxed chemistry and brilliantly off the wall dialogue to shine. Their eccentric characters and offbeat sketches won’t be to everyone’s taste, but those that can embrace their unique style will surely be in for a treat.
'The Grandees ' is at the Underbelly at the Edinburgh Fringe, 21.05.
