First two shows at the Fringe. The List Operators for Kids - oh dear! Aren't audiences tired of fart, poo and bottom jokes? Where were the lists? There were only two proper lists in the whole show and a whole lot of padding. These guys are comedians and it's make me even more sure that a lot of comics have absolutely no idea what kids find funny. Jason Byrne is the only person that I've seen do both kids humour and adult humour brilliantly. Children have more sophisticated humour than this. Vomitting green stuff at the end?
The second show we've seen was 'Keepers'. This was a moving and intense piece of theatre about the isloation of two lighthouse keepers. There was some amazing physical theatre, and the live music and sound effects guy was just totally brilliant. Amazing piece of theatre that everyone should see. I love it when you see something so brilliant at the Fringe... these two characters were so totally engaging.
