Gein's Family Giftshop – Volume 1

Fast-paced sketch trio Gein's Family Giftshop deservedly received a Best Newcomer nomination at last year's Foster's Edinburgh Comedy Awards for their debauched debut show, which now heads to London. The Manchester-based threesome revel in the dark, depraved and gross-out. Bestiality, death during childbirth and a blitz of masturbation jokes all feature in this troupe's show. But GFG are largely one-step ahead of the audience and they employ nifty tricks to keep us guessing. The subject matter's base, but there's intelligence and wit behind their toilet humour, and they are pleasingly understated performers. You won't see their punchlines coming, even when 'coming' is the punchline.
