Summary : Four Scots guys talking shite.
But very funny shite. This was the final gig of the run so there was a 'demob happy' atmosphere up on stage. Established local comedians Stu Murphy, Keir McAllister, Vladimir McTavish and Mark Nelson sit in a row, trade insults, put each other off and slide off into irrelevant anecdotes. To be fair, McAllister made several valiant efforts to drag proceedings back in the direction of the script, and they ended up covering the fearful but always laughable rise of Donald Trump, the racism of Brexit and the funniest bits of this year's Holyrood general election (and yes, Willie Rennie's infamous pig got another chance for glory). Complete with bits of video footage to illustrate just how daft politicians and their acolytes can be.
Shambolic? Yes. But as a comedy show it delivers perfectly, with even Murphy's most groanworthy puns sparking laughter - it's all in the delivery. Four funny men doing what they're good at, having fun, and making us laugh. Hilarious.
