Description

'The brains and talent behind Half-Cocked Theatre have undoubtedly carved a niche in the world of sketch comedy with their latest offering' **** (LiveLondonPost.com). Gangsters discuss pronouns, props go missing and is that Shania Twain I hear?! An eclectic, silly show, where fun is made out of everything and everyone. At a rip-roaring 60 minutes long, performers (and audience) barely have time to take a breath under a barrage of frequently hilarious sketches. **** (ThePegReview.com). Come and see what all the fuss is about!

We attended last nights performance on the spur of the moment. An hour well spent. Very vigorous, well crafted with clever word play. Although not spelt out one of the sketches appeared to be a homage to Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. The performance was worthy of a larger audience.

Great show. Fun sketches, great chemistry between the comedy duo. Great range of talent and ability shown.
This had a smile on my face from start to end - exactly what the fringe is about - creativity, joy and a little bit of quirkiness mixed in.

Great action-packed hour of tightly crafted sketch comedy helmed by two dynamic performers. A show well worth seeing, chock full with British sensibilities and irreverence. — an American

Actually very funny and original, rare for me to go off the beaten track but so glad I took a flyer as they were a great way to tee up an evening full of laughs. Sketches are hilarious and both of them vibe off each other so well.

Absolutely smashing the 4th wall.

High energy, smart comedy this is a must see.

Go see this show!

The sketches are relentlessly funny but the reason I'm feeling obliged to write my first ever fringe review is the dynamic between the 2 performers. Theyre so incredibly slick together and bounce off eachother feverishly. Best performance I've seen at the Fringe

I really feel this puny little review is an insufficiently powerful medium for expressing how much I think you should go to this show. Go to the show. Do it now!!

Rapid fire and meta character work that will make you think and laugh.

It’s absolute silliness for an entire hour and I loved it.

Half cocked comedy show was absolutely fantastic. Beyond funny. Slick and so witty. Amazing two gentlemen. An absolute must see.
