A ukulele playing double act from Australia invite you to their street party where they'll be singing all the songs. Fortunately they're pretty decent singers and can turn out some fairly amusing lyrics. The show is well rehearsed and the interplay between the two is strong.
While there are a few really good laughs along the way, and the finale was a proper high point to end on, the writing is both inconsistent and one dimensional. An hour of songs that are almost entirely about sex and sexual organs gets a bit dull after a while. With a sharper script they could be a great double act, but this show is a bit too flat for them to realise their potential.
Oh, and I think there was a bit of a striptease act on at one point. I missed that, as I was up on stage playing kazoo at the time....
Sparrow-Folk are on at the Gilded Balloon at 20.00 until the 30th.
